'Ganguly to get fair treatment'


Newly-elected BCCI president Sharad Pawar on Tuesday hailed the all-round contribution of Sourav Ganguly to Indian cricket and assured that the former skipper will be treated fairly by the national selection committee.

"There is a selection committee and it will definitely apply its mind for Ganguly and others," Pawar said when asked if he considered the left-hander's international cricketing carrier to be almost over.

"Our total approach should be fair to all states and associations. Our approach should be to protect the interests of all the states," he said.

Pawar also dismissed any possibility of interference in cricketing affairs by him or the board administration.
