We’ll do well in Lanka says Ganguly

Mumbai, September 11: Describing India's just concluded trip to England as the "best overseas tour in the last six years," skipper Sourav Ganguly was confident of his team's success in the ICC Champions Trophy in Colombo.

"We have been winning one-day matches and I can't think why we should not do well in the Champions Trophy," Ganguly said after the team arrived here in the early hours on Wednesday.

On India's chances of winning the trophy in Colombo in the Sept 12 to 29 tournament, Ganguly said, "We will worry about it when we reach Colombo. As of now the players need rest.

"We have been travelling for the last 24 hours and I would not like to say anything more about the Champions Trophy now."

Regarding the solution of the ICC's controversial sponsorship issue where the international body accepted the Indian players' proposal at the last minute, Ganguly said: "It was not a victory for anybody and we are happy the matter was settled."

Reviewing the performance in England, he rated it as India's best overseas performance in the last six years. "All in all it was a very good tour as we saw players like Md Kaif and Dinesh Mongia in one-dayers and Bangar in the Test series come of age," he said.
