Lot of changes in Indian cricket if we lose at Eden: Ganguly

Suggesting that Indian skipper M.S. Dhoni shouldnot opt for a turner in the coming Test match here against England, formerskipper Sourav Ganguly Monday said there "could be lot of changes" inIndian cricket if the home side lost at Eden Gardens.

"Dhoni should not seek a turner. If the ball turns, theEngland spinners will create problems for the Indian batsmen. And if India losetwo back to back Tests then there will be lot of changes in Indiancricket," he said.

India went down by ten wickets in the second Test of theongoing series inside four days at Mumbai, with English spinners Monty Panesarand Graeme Swann taking 16 wickets between them.

Regarding Sachin Tendulkar, who is yet to be among runs inthe series, Ganguly said: "Yes, his reflexes have gone down. But that isbound to happen with age. But what I feel is that Tendulkar is out of form andneeds runs.

"I want to earnestly believe that he will get runs inthe two remaining Tests".

The talismanic former Indian left hander said it was forTendulkar, and not for the selectors, to decide when he will quit internationalcricket.
