The veteran Indian batsman Sourav Ganguly is not thinking about his retirement from the International cricket at this moment. The 34 year old star batsman is now with the Indian cricket team at the Caribbean to participate in the upcoming World Cup Cricket 2007 which will be his third world cup tournament. Ganguly may be 34 now but he wants to keep on fighting.

Ganguly  named Australia, South Africa, England, India and Pakistan as favorite to win the coming world cup tournament. For the host West Indies, he stated that the Caribbeans would be dangerous as they are the host team.

Indiatimes Cricket reported:

"I'm totally committed to cricket. We'll see how much longer for but I've still got time to go on, maybe for a year and a half, or two years. We'll see," the left-hander said.
One of the seniormost members of the side who would be playing in their last World Cup, Ganguly felt the showpiece event in the West Indies was an open contest.
"Australia will be good, South Africa will be good, England will be good - also India and Pakistan - these are the five teams," Ganguly told BBC Sport .

"West Indies - they're playing at home so they'll be a dangerous team. Really anybody can win the World Cup," added Ganguly. "It's always been a great tournament for the fans and it will be again. There's all the preparations, the stature of the event and the fact that everybody's eye is on the World Cup," Ganguly said about the premier one-day tournament in the world.

Here, it is notable that many observers almost wrote Ganguly off from cricket last year. However, he came back to the team during the tour to South Africa. From then on, he has been the most consistent performer for the Indian team. He could really overcome all the odds and that is why he should continue for some time.
