The fate of Sourav Ganguly could be decided on Thursday, two days before India play their first match in the triangular series in Sri Lanka.

South African judge Albie Sach has conveyed to the International Cricket Council that he was hoping to be in position to announce the ICC disputes resolution committee’s decision on code of conduct process dispute between the ICC and the Indian cricket board.

Justice Sachs said after informing the ICC and the BCCI on his verdict on Ganguly, he would be available to provide details on the matter in a media teleconference on the same day, an ICC release said here today.

The Indian captain was slapped with a six-match ODI ban for his team’s slow over rate during the one-day series against Pakistan in April.

The BCCI had initially appealed against the ban but it was turned down by ICC appeals commissioner Michael Beloff. The BCCI later disputed the process that was used to deal with Ganguly’s appeal under the ICC code of conduct and sought a review of the case. Ganguly was provisionally included in the Indian squad as the 16th member and it was made clear that he would travel to Sri Lanka only if the ban was lifted. The latest development has not only thrown open a variety of possibilities but has also given Ganguly a chance to take part in the tri-series.
