Ganguly to miss Test skippers' summit
31 January 2001

India's Sourav Ganguly is likely to miss a meeting of skippers of the ten Test playing nations, called to discuss the future of the sport shrouded in match-fixing and betting scandals. The meeting is scheduled to be held on February 12 in Melbourne, The Sunday Morning Herald reported on Wednesday.

Ganguly, who would have represented a nation credited with opening the Pandora's Box and exposing the murky side of the game, will be busy preparing for the tough home series against formidable Australians who arrive in India on February 14.

England skipper Nasser Hussain may be the other absentee, given his team's engagements in Sri Lanka, International Cricket Council's spokesman Mark Harrison said. The discussions will be chaired by ICC Chief Executive, David Richards of Australia.

Ten top players from eight countries find mention in the CBI report as those who allegedly accepted money from bookmakers in the biggest scandal to hit the sport.
