"They may be without Andrew Flintoff, Darren Gough, and Michael Vaughan. But I am not taking them lightly. No team can be underestimated in limited over matches," Ganguly, who is in Kolkata for a three-day break, told reporters. Referring to the match against Zimbabwe, Ganguly said though his team won the match, it had lost five wickets for 87 within the first 15 overs. "No team can be underestimated in limited over matches, So, I think, irrespective of the team composition, England will be tough opponents. We have a battle on our hands," he said. The skipper was of the view that each one-dayer in the coming months was crucial in the run-up to the World Cup in February-March in South Africa. He said: "Every country has now started preparing for the big event. Each is trying to have a measure of its opponents. The Champions Trophy is the only major tournament before the World Cup where all the teams will be seen in action. We have also started our homework for the Cup." Ganguly, who arrived in the metropolis on Sunday to spend a few of days with his family, will leave for Colombo on Wednesday to join the team for the crucial match against England on September 22. in-depth coverage > ICC Champions Trophy 2002 > |
