Sourav to appeal against ban

KOLKATA: Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has decided to appeal against the International Cricket Council's six ODI ban imposed by match referee, Chris Broad, for slow over rate during the fourth one-dayer between India and Pakistan at Ahmedabad.

He met former BCCI president, Jagmohan Dalmiya, to seek his advice and support. During the meeting it was also decided to get the services of former Bengal Chief Minister, Siddhartha Sankar Ray, who incidentally argued Ganguly's case successfully when Clive Lloyd had handed him a two-Test ban for a similar office after the BCCI Platinum Jubilee game against Pakistan last year at the Eden Gardens.

As per ICC rules, the player has to prefer his appeal within 24 hours of the decision being made. Ganguly was first found guilty of slow over rate during the third ODI against Pakistan at Jamshedpur and was fined 70 per cent of his match fee. — Special Correspondent
