Surprisingly sidelined for the ODI cricket tri-series against Australia, Sourav Ganguly has confessed that he was anyway considering retirement from the limited overs version in next 7-8 months.

Ganguly said he had realised that he would not play in the 2011 World Cup, to be co-hosted by the Asian cricketing nations, but when selectors asked him he had expressed his wish to play in ODIs for a few more months as there were not many limited overs8217; games scheduled this year.

8220;They selectors just asked me whether I wanted to continue ODI cricket. I said, yes definitely, at least for the next 7-8 months,8221; Ganguly said.

8220;There is not much of ODI cricket this year. This is Australia series then India goes to Sri Lanka for Test and ODI, so there are five ODIs there and there is Champions Trophy in September and rest of the year is full of Test cricket.

8220;So I wanted to play till September then probably take a call because at some stage you would not have gone out to play 2011 World Cup,8221; he told a TV channel..

Ganguly said although he did not discuss the issue with anyone else he felt he was not dropped on the ground of his form.
