New Delhi: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who is currently in charge of the Pune Warriors, has stood behind Rahul Sharma. “It’s disappointing, but I think it’s a mistake more than a routine thing. He’s a young boy, he had gone for a party where probably I am not sure whether knowingly or unknowingly, he had it,” Sourav told a TV channel.
“I don’t think it was a performance enhancing drug for which he should be punished. I think it was one of those strange incidents, one unfortunate incident which should not cost him his India place.
“He should be punished for little bit of time, but I don’t think it’s such a grave issue that he should be banned from playing for India. The BCCI needs to counsel him.” Sourav said that the incident should serve a “learning” experience for the two young cricketers. “I hope it’s a learning curve for both Rahul and Wayne Parnell because they are both very young boys. I hope they don’t make this mistake again,” he said. (PTI)
