Former Indian captain and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Sourav Ganguly is still hopeful of making a comeback in the ODI team.
At a press conference in Mumbai, the stylish left-handed batsman said, "I don't know (why I am left out). I will have to perform. Whatever the reason for me being left out. I am 35 (years old) and I'll get another opportunity somewhere."
On handling ex-captains in the team, he said, "Players like (Ricky) Ponting walk out to bat for their country, club and state and there are thousands watching them. So they have a reputation to keep."
"Leading teams with ex-captains in it has never been a problem. I had done it and now we are playing under Anil (Kumble) in the Tests and (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni in the one-dayers," added Ganguly.
He said choosing the team would be slightly easier since some of the international players would be performing their national duties.
"We have a blend young and big names, certain players will be playing with their countries so it'll make my job easy," Ganguly added.
