“We will try and play one every year in India,” Ganguly told Hindustan Times. “That is for sure. When India go on tour, we will talk to the board of the country we are visiting and see if we can feature in one.”

“These things move in a cycle,” he said. “Yes, I was disappointed with the performance of South Africa on their last tour but I guess they need some time to get things in order and be the team I remember playing against. It is the same with Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Sometime ago, Australia were not doing all that well but they have now turned things around.”

However, India’s primary focus is next year’s T20 World Cup in Australia. India haven’t won a big tournament since the Champions Trophy in 2013 and Sourav Ganguly India will arrive well prepared there and also do well.

“There isn’t any time to slot in more games; the calendar does not permit that,” Sourav Ganguly concluded. “But I think we are playing enough T20 games anyway. Over and above these, you will also have the IPL in 2020.”
