Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly who is one of the most sought after cricket expert and also a co-owner of an Indian Super League (ISL) club, Atletico de Kolkata, is confident of managing both the sports simultaneously.

With the club playing in the inaugural city based football tournament involving eight teams starting from October 12 to December 20 and the India- West Indies ODI series beginning today, the southpaw is a busy but not a worried man. “I need to look at both. Don’t worry, I will manage,” he was quoted as saying by IBNLIVE Sports.

Ganguly also spoke about the inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav in the Indian ODI squad. “No doubt it’s a brave decision, but he is a good wrist spinner; he will do well,” he said. “I feel selection [of bowlers] basically depends on how well they are bowling,” Ganguly concluded.
