BANGALORE // The former India captain Saurav Ganguly has announced he will be retiring after the Test series against Australia that starts this week. "This is going to be my last series," the 36-year-old left-hander told a packed news conference two days ahead of the first Test. "I have decided to quit. I have told my teammates before I came here. These four Test matches are going to be my last."

Ganguly was named in the squad for the first two Tests despite being dropped for a premier domestic game, seen as a selection match, following a poor series in Sri Lanka in August. The first Test in Bangalore starts on Thursday. *Reuters
