BCCI President and former India captain Sourav Ganguly has faith in his batting skills. He feels a good six months of training a few matches in domestic cricket can help him score runs in Test cricket.

Ganguly's comment that he is fit to score runs in Test cricket came after he talked about the end phase of his career to Bengali newspaper Sangbad Pratidin.

“If I was given two more series in ODIs, I would’ve scored more runs. If I hadn’t retired in Nagpur, I would’ve scored runs in the next two Test series too. In fact even now give me six months to train, let me play three Ranji games, I’ll score runs for India in Test cricket. I don’t even need six months, give me three, I will score runs,” said Ganguly to the Bengali newspaper.

“You might not give me an opportunity to play but how will you break the belief inside me?", asked the former India skipper.

The 48-year-old highlighted how he was axed from the ODI squad even after being the top performer. 

“It was kind of unbelievable. I was dropped from the ODI side despite being one of the highest scorers of that calendar year. No matter how good your performance is if the stage is taken away from you then what will you prove? And to whom? The same thing happened with me,” Ganguly added.

Sourav last played an ODI match in 2007, against the arch-rivals Pakistan. He became an irregular member of the team when Greg Chappell took over as head coach of team India.
