Sharukh tweets: All players must go in a pool, Ganguly agrees

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Sourav Ganguly is in complete agreement with team owner and Bollywood badshah Shah Rukh Khan's view that all the players should go into a pool ahead of the fourth season of the Indian Premier League.

The superstar tweeted yesterday: "new ipl rules a bit confusing. two new teams added (good). all players should go into pool to make it fair for everyone. simple & straight."

Ganguly feels that in his capacity as team owner, Shah Rukh has every right to express his view. "He has invested in the team for the past three years. Unfortunately, the Kolkata Knight Riders were not very successful. Obviously, Shah Rukh has every right to go in for a new squad. And he has rightly called for all the players to be auctioned again.

Ganguly was also of the view that no franchisee would invest $4.5 million to retain four top players. "It is a ridiculous thought. Why would team owners exhaust such a huge amount for just four players? It is not going to happen," Ganguly said.

Meanwhile, on the prospect of him playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders again, he said: "You never know. Shah Rukh might just pick me in the auction. Any other team in mind? "It is too premature to speak about it, to be honest. I really don't know what will happen in the future. Currently, I have a commentary assignment (CLT20)and I am pretty excited about it," Ganguly said.
