After cricketer Virender Sehwag made headlines days ago, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly too grabbed the limelight recently.

In a recent interview with India Today, Sourav Ganguly claimed that both Virender Sehwag and Anil Kumble could work together in the selection committee.

"If Anil Kumble becomes a selector, what else could be better than that? He brings honesty, experience and has been such a huge cricketer for India. Even Sehwag would make a good selector. He has courage and vision. He played his cricket in a way which contributed to wins. His analysis and reaction in big matches was second to none. So he will definitely do a good job. Both Anil Kumble and Virender Sehwag can be selectors for India," Ganguly said.

Days ago, Sehwag took Anil Kumble's name for India's chairman of the selection committee, to which Ganguly was fully in agreement with his thoughts.

"Definitely, selectors should get good money. Because selector's is one of the most crucial positions in cricket. And the coach works with the team that selector picks. Coach has his inputs but the final decisions are made by the selectors," Ganguly added.

Further agreeing to work with Virat Kohli and bringing new benchmarks for team India, Ganguly agreed on joining forces with Indian skipper to take Indian cricket forward.

"Two years is some time away. But I have said in the past as well, I am interested in being India coach someday. It will feel great to work with Virat Kohli because he is a match-winner. He is a champion cricketer," Ganguly said.

Being open about his choices, Ganguly further added if given an opportunity as a coach in the future, he wants to set new benchmarks of winning overseas.

"If I can contribute and help the team win big tournaments and Test series in England, South Africa and the current Australian side with Steve Smith and David Warner that would be the endeavour. If the team can achieve that, it will be the USP of this side," Ganguly said.

Ganguly further went on to wish Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri to achieve more success in the immediate future before he can come in the picture.
