Former India [ Images ] captain Sourav Ganguly [ Images ], who remained unsold during the recent IPL auction, on Wednesday said that he was ready to play in the IPL if selected.

Asked by a Bengali TV channel if he would agree to replace in IPL 4 any player in case of injury, the former Kolkata Knight Riders [ Images ] captain replied in the affirmative.

Asked in what form would he like to be seen in the World Cup, he said, "Of course not as a critic, but as an analyst."

sourav gangulyGanguly said he would be a positive analyst of the game since he himself faced a lot of criticism.

The left-hander, who top-scored for KKR in the last edition of IPL with 493 runs in 14 matches and a strike rate of 117.66, was not picked up by any of the 10 IPL franchises including KKR.

Ganguly was initially placed in the $200,000 price bracket, but increased his base price to $400,00 just before the auction.
