  Sourav resumes return process

Scotching speculation of a retirement after he was left out for the Rest of India squad in Irani Trophy, former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Thursday resumed his rigorous training and net session at Eden Gardens. 
Upset after being ignored for the 14-member squad, meant for probables for the four-Test October-November series against touring Australia, Ganguly had not turned up for practice from Monday to Wednesday. 
"But today, he came early in the morning, waited patiently for 20 minutes for all of us to turn up and trained at the gym for one hour and 10 minutes before joining the Bengal Ranji probables in the nets," Bengal trainer Chinmoy Roy said. 
Incidentally, Roy was away in Thiruvanantapuram but a "keen for comeback" Ganguly phoned the trainer, asking him to come back.
"He wanted me to come so I returned early to join him at the gym today. From his body language, one thing was evident: there's no question of calling it quits at the moment. Ganguly told me that he'll henceforth practice regularly as it feels 'bad' not practising." 
Roy added that Ganguly was at the nets for close to 40 minutes, facing all the Bengal bowlers. 
Sidelined by the Dilip Vengsarkar-chaired national selectors, Ganguly hopes to make yet another return when the new selection committee is appointed ahead of the Australia series. 
Ganguly recently in an interview to a British tabloid said he was not mulling on retirement and has a couple of years left in him.
