Mumbai: A combination of factors, not least the dismal performance of the Indian team in South Africa in the ongoing one-day series, has led to a strong possibility that former captain Sourav Ganguly might get a recall for the three-Test series to follow when the national selectors meet here tomorrow (Nov 30,2006).


Equally important for the decision of the panel headed by Dilip Vengsarkar is the poor display by middle-order batsmen Suresh Raina, Mohammad Kaif and Dinesh Mongia, in the absence of Yuvraj Singh and the finger injury sustained by captain Rahul Dravid which has ruled him out of action till at least the start of the Test rubber.

If and when he is recalled, the Bengal left-hander will be making a comeback after being left out by the previous Kiran More-led selection panel since the end of the series in Pakistan in January this year.

Though there have been intense speculations over Ganguly's expected r ecall, Vengsakar was non-committal on the matter and said all the players who have been doing well in domestic cricket were in the running.

"I can't say anything as I am yet to talk to the other selectors. We will be discussing various things when we meet, including the ideal combinations. All those who have been doing well in domestic cricket are in the running", the former India captain and veteran of 116 Tests told sources.
