Former Pakistan captain compares Sourav Ganguly to leaders and freedom fighters from Bengal

Hindustan Times  

Sourav Ganguly achieved a lot of success as captain of the Indian cricket team. From guiding the team to the 2003 ICC World finals to beating Steve Waugh’s Australia at home, Ganguly gave a new direction to Indian cricket. The news is a matter of big discussion across the border as well and recently two former Pakistani cricketers, Shoaib Akhtar and Rashid Latif, spoke about how this could affect Indian cricket as a whole in the days to come. He also wants to reduce the monetary gap between international cricket and first class cricket, he wants to make India’s first-class structure as good as that of England and Australia and I think he is the right man for the job, about whom no one will have any reservations,” the former Pakistan wicket-keeper said.
