Mumbai: Former India paceman Javagal Srinath said on Saturday it was time to stop speculations over the inclusion of former captain Sourav Ganguly in the 30-strong probables list for the October 7-November 5 Champions Trophy tournament.
"We have to stop this cat and mouse game and see whether Ganguly has in him to stage a comeback (into the final 14)," said Srinath when queried at a symposium on his reaction to Ganguly's inclusion.
"As a captain he had his way with the board (selectors) in getting the team he wanted. But afterwards it's mere speculation that he has worked his way into the team through the board," Srinath said.
"He definitely deserved to be among the top 30 players," Srinath declared emphatically.
The squad of 30 has to be trimmed to 14 on or before September 7 for the Champions Trophy event to be played in India.
"I see it this way. There are two left handers in the squad to Sri Lanka in Suresh Raina and Dinesh Mongia. (His chances to make the 14) depends on their performance", he added.
