Former Indian Skipper Sourav Ganguly has passed his 1st test of making a comeback in the Indian team. Ganguly who was suffering from a 'mild tennis elbow' is fit and is ready to play the Duleep Trophy opener which begins on October 20. He is the skipper of East Zone and East Zone takes on North Zone at Rajkot. The left hander was examined by the Indian team John Gloster and Dr. Anant Joshi, chief of the BCCI's Medical Panel today in Mumbai. Ganguly had to miss the Challenger Trophy and has been dropped from the Indian team for the 1st two ODIs against Sri Lanka. Rahul Dravid has been named as the skipper for the next 12 ODIs which are to be played against Sri Lanka (7) and South Africa (5). Last season it was Sachin Tendulkar who had the tennis elbow symptom and the batting legend made his comeback into competitive cricket in a Duleep Trophy match for West Zone against South at Hyderabad. If Ganguly makes a great comeback by hitting a big score in the Duleep Trophy encounter than he stands a chance of making it to the Indian team for the 3rd ODI, the side for which would be picked in Mohali on 28th October.
