I don't want Flintoff, Pietersen in KKR: Ganguly  

London: Kolkata Knight Riders’ captain Sourav Ganguly will not like to have Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen in his side, due to the disruption they would cause.
 
The English pair may not join the mega-bucks Indian Premier League next year, because their ability to feature in next year’s Twenty20 showpiece would be limited to a window of just 10 days out of the six-week tournament.
 
“There is pressure on my team to do well in the IPL next year, because last year we did not get the results we wanted. That was in part was down to players coming and going for international duty,” Ganguly said.
 
“There is a limit with the number of overseas players we can play and a limit to the budget. I don’t know how much Pietersen or Flintoff will be available next year, with the Ashes going on – that’s a big competition for them,” he said.
 
“We need players who can play for us for a longer time and gel with the team, not coming and going like that. It is a team sport and last year Shane Warne’s side Rajasthan won through a team ethic, not big names,” Ganguly added.
 
Both England icons have been linked to big-money deals with the Kolkata Knight Riders, owned by multi-millionaire Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, The Sun reported.

So now he understands that you need players who will actually play.

He himself has been getting away without playing for so long that he forgot that you have to be in it to win it

Wasn't IPL played this year? Which year SG is living in?

Hopefully SG will learn a lesson and not run after players like Akhtar (or even himself  ).

He is an advanced thinker! 
He is already into the next year, while we ordinary folks are wasting ourselves in this year, even now!

[dextrous]

he's what i call a cricket yogi...

nagma tried to be the 'cricket menaka or urvashi'!

    I think SG might be getting ahead of himself, talking about last year. I wish he does not end being a Dev Anand, who always thought he made movies ahead of his times.
