Ganguly arrives in West Indies

After a long and tiring flight from India, skipper Sourav Ganguly arrived in Georgetown on Wednesday night and immediately made clear he was going to play in the three-day match against Guyana XI starting on Friday.

Neither the fact that he needs time to recover from the jet lag nor that no players of repute are in the line-up of the local team deterred Ganguly from deciding to turn out for the match which is the only warm-up game before the first Test against West Indies starting on April 11.

"I want to play this game and I am sure I would be able to recover from jet lag and be fit for the game," said the Indian skipper on his arrival.

However, he sounded a bit concerned about the health of his wife Dona which forced him to postpone his departure from India by two days.

"Though medical check-ups have been done and nothing has come out of it, I am still not aware what kind of treatment she has to undergo," he said.

Dona's health deteriorated, reportedly due to a niggling issue of gall bladder, just before Ganguly was to leave with the rest of the team for here. It forced him to reschedule his plans and was detained in Kolkata for two days to be with his wife.
