Team announced, Ganguly out!
February 23, 2006
It is official. With the selection committee looking towards the future, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly's illustrious career in international cricket is as good as over, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah hinted on Thursday. Former national selectors Sambaran Banerjee and Pranab Roy expressed surprise over the exclusion of Ganguly, reports UNI from Kolkata. I do not know what kind of a decision this is. Sourav's inclusion would have meant a healthier mix of young and old. He would have consolidated the middle-order, which is much needed against a team like England. I think the selectors have made a mistake by excluding Sourav, he said.
Promising Moradabad leggie Piyush Chawla said he would justify the selectors faith in him by exploiting the inherent weakness of English batsmen against leg-spinners, reports UNI. With the selection committee picking Mohammmad Kaif, medium-pacer R P Singh, Suresh Raina and Chawla, it will be the first time that four players from UP will feature in the senior side. Indian team for first test: Rahul Dravid (Captain), Virender Sehwag (vice-captain), Sachin Tendulkar
, VVS Laxman, Wasim Jaffer, Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, S Sreesanth, R P Singh, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, VRV Singh, Piyush Chawla.

India gain consolation victory
Sept 5 2004
India recovered from a weak position to pull off a convincing 23-run win over England in the third one-day game of the NatWest Challenge.
India had faltered to 204 all out as Steve Harmison took a career-best 4-22. Sourav Ganguly posed the only real resistance with his aggressive 90 along with Rahul Dravid, who added 52. England were then reduced to 62-6 by India's pace bowlers but Michael Vaughan (74) and Ashley Giles (39) rallied before another late collapse. It was scant consolation for India with the three-match series already won by England.
India 204 all out (49.3 overs) beat England 181 all out (48.2 overs) by 23 runs.
Flintoff stars for England
Sept 3 2004
England rode on the back of another thrilling Andrew Flintoff innings to thump India at The Oval by 70 runs.
It gave them a 2-0 lead in the NatWest Challenge with just one match to come and it was the first time they had won batting first since February 2003. Flintoff (99) and Paul Collingwood (79 not out) put on 174 in partnership, an England record for the fifth wicket. England's 307-5 was far too good for India, and Darren Gough and Ashley Giles were the stars with the ball.
NatWest Challenge, The Oval: England 307-5 beat India 237 by 70 runs
England thrash India
Sept 1 2004
A Steve Harmison hat-trick and an impressive debut from Alex Wharf propelled England to a big seven-wicket win over India at Trent Bridge.
Set 171 to win the opening game of the NatWest Challenge, England cruised home in the 33rd over with Vikram Solanki striking a half-century. But England won the game with the ball, Wharf taking three wickets in his first three overs to return 3-30.
Harmison took the last three wickets to claim England's second ODI hat-trick. Andrew Strauss, who remained unbeaten on 41, was happy to take a back seat as England took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series and cast their wretched NatWest Series campaign to distant memory.
NatWest Challenge, Trent Bridge: India 170 (43.5 overs) lost to England 171-3 (32.2 overs) by seven wickets
India England Series Summary
The England cricket team represents England and Wales, and operates under the auspices of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
The sport of cricket was invented in England, and England is a founding Test cricket and one-day international nation. England played in the first Test match in 1877 (against Australia in Melbourne) and also the first one-day international in 1971 (also against Australia in Melbourne).
England has been one of the most dominant teams in international cricket, fielding a strong side for most of cricket's history. This dominance began to fall away in the 1980s as England was overshadowed by Australia, the West Indies, India, Pakistan and South Africa. Since 2000, English cricket has seen a resurgence and the team is now ranked second after Australia in the ICC Test cricket ratings.
