Ganguly recalled, Laxman vice-captain

Test Series India V/S South Africa After very long wait Sourav Ganguly has recalled to the Indian Test squad for the forthcoming three-Test series against South Africa. The selectors picked the team in New Delhi and they selected Gautam Gambhir and VRV Singh along with Sourav Ganguly. Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, Dinesh Mongia and Ajit Agarkar will return home after one day series. The selectors had decided 16 team members with 7 Batsman, 5 Fast Bowlers, 2 Spinners and 2 Wicket Keepers.

They also appointed VVS Laxman as vice captain for the Test team in place of Virender Sehwag. Hope this decision may boost up Sehvag's form leading to the batter batting performance by him. Irfan Pathan has persisted his place for pace attack side along with Munaf Patel, Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth and VRV Singh. Anil Kumble and Harbhajan Singh will take over the spin attack. And all they are backed by Dhoni and Dinesh Kartik.
