He had called time on his international career after the Test series against Australia in 2008. <\/p>\n<p>A report in <strong>The Times of India<\/strong> says that he has informed Sahara bosses, owners of the Pune franchise,&nbsp; that he does not wish to play in IPL 6 even though he is contracted to play one more season for them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a wondeful time playing in the IPL for five seasons. It gave me a chance to keep playing top-class cricket even after quitting international cricket. But I can&#8217;t go on forever, and I have requested the franchise owners not to consider me for IPL 6,&#8221; Sourav was quoted in the report.<\/p>\n<p>The report also says that Sourav, who had requested Bengal selectors not to consider him for the season&#8217;s first Ranji Trophy match against Rajasthan, also confirmed that he would not be playing first-class cricket either.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is tough to play a whole season of first-class cricket when you know that you are not going to play for India. I kept playing first-class cricket because you cannot just turn up for IPL without any sort of preparation,&#8221; said Sourav, who featured in the bulk of Bengal&#8217;s matches last season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bengal cricket is in good hands. It is good to see the likes of Manoj, Wriddhiman, Dinda, Sami and Anustup knocking hard on the selectors&#8217; door. I wish them all the best,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After calling curtains on his international career back in 2008, Sourav Ganguly has now called it a day from domestic cricket,which effectively means he will not be a part of Pune Warriors in the next year\u2019s IPL and the upcoming Ranji season.
