Patna /Jaipur, Mar 8: Former Indian captain Saurav Ganguly has said the attack on the Sri Lankan players in Pakistan was as a cause for worry for the game.

"It is terrible for the game of cricket where players are attacked by terrorists. I think their job is to represent the country and play the sport," Ganguly said on the sidelines of a function in Patna.

The attack has cast a security shadow on Indian Premier League (IPL).

Kolkata, Nov. 9 : As Sourav Ganguly’s glorious international cricket career camed to an end on Sunday with a duck in Nagpur, his retirement drove a Kolkata-based musical band to come up with songs as a tribute to him. 

Orchid, the musical Bangla band, has composed several songs to glorify Ganguly’s 13-year cricket career during which he put up a scintillating display and led India with aplomb.

The band members have given an everlasting salute to him through their music.

Their verses have eulogised his fighting spirit, his mental toughness and leadership quality.

Saurav Ganguly the ‘Bengal tiger’ feels that it is the time to bid adieu to the Indian cricket team. The former Captain asserts that the last two years in the international cricket have been ‘outstanding’, though he feels disappointed on being left out from the Irani Trophy squad last month.

The player who will be retiring soon from the world of cricket after the test series with the Aussies this month says that he thought of retiring because of the incessant scrutiny that he had to face and consequently created lots of stress in his life.
