Mumbai, Oct 30: Indian cricket coach John Wright today said Sourav Ganguly, who is recuperating after a surgery in Kolkata, was very keen to join the team during the ongoing Triangular one-day series. "I spoke to Sourav after he was discharged from the hospital and he told me he was very keen to get back into the thick of things. Let us hope he will be able to join the team as early as possible", Wright told reporters before the Indian team's net practice at the Wankhede Stadium here for the tie against Australia on November one.
Speaking about left-handed batsman Yuvraj Singh and Ajit Agarkar's promotion in the batting order in the Gwalior tie against the same opponents which India won by 37 runs, Wright said "flexibility is very important in one-day cricket and the captain (acting captain Rahul Dravid) will decide about the batting order for the November one tie as per the situation".
"Like the captains change or shuffle the bowlers around, even in batting order too one should have flexibility which could lead to the success of the team like it happened in Gwalior", he added.
Speaking about left-arm seamer Ashish Nehra's inclusion as an additional member in the one-day squad, Wright said "we want Ashish to practice with the team as we want to see as much as we can of him before he may be considered for the next three league matches".
"We left him out for the two games as we were not sure of his full recovery and also we did not want to rush him as he will be important to us in Australia", Wright added.
