First or 100th, its the same: Ganguly

Pune: Sourav Ganguly on Thursday said he would treat his comeback to the Indian side as if it was his first Test match.

"If I get a chance against Sri Lanka, I will give my best as I did in my first Test, and try to do well," Ganguly said in his first reaction after being selected for the first Test against Sri Lankastarting in Chennai on December 2.

"One is always happy to represent the country, be it your first Test, the 50th or 100th, as it is a great honour," the Bengal left-hander told a TV channel.

Ganguly said he was expecting to be named in the squad as "I had a good tour of Zimbabwe."

Admitting that his experience would be valuable while making a comeback, Ganguly, however, said one learns something new every day. "Even someone playing his 100th Test would say that he could still improve," Ganguly said, adding "we have new experiences every day and new results and situations confront us while batting and bowling." — PTI
