With his fate as international cricketer in the hands of South African judge Albie Sachs thousands of miles away, former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly today returned to Kolkata refusing to hazard any guess on the verdict to be given by the ICC appointed arbitrator tomorrow.

"What can I say on it? I don't have anything to say," Ganguly told newspersons at the N S C Bose International Airport this morning when asked to comment on the issue.

Ganguly, who has been included as the 16th member in the Indian team for the triangular tournament in Sri Lanka pending the resolution of the dispute over the six-ODI ban slapped on him for the team's slow over rate against Pakistan in April, returned home after a stint with English county side Glamorgan.

"It has been a good experience," Ganguly said about his stint with Glamorgan.

Asked to comment about Rahul Dravid 's captaincy, Ganguly said, "he has hardly got to captain India properly. How do you expect me to say anything on this?"

He also sidestepped a question on the inclusion of some youngsters in the Indian team for the Tri-series. "This is the selectors' prerogative. They have done it."
