ICL players are like to play with any IPL cricket club. These kinds of information may not sweet news for the commissioner of Indian Premier League. This is going to happen in Bengal cricket club Kolkata Knight Riders. Former Bengal Cricket captain Deep Dasgupta as well as Rohan Gavaskar and G Vignesh will take part in three practices match against the Champions League Twenty20 visiting club on the side to KKR. It seems to me that BCCI would show offensive mood without amnesty players will play any IPL team or it could happen that he already has applied just waiting for sign up.

When Dasgupta look very intimacy with Ganguly (may be for personal reason and played long time in the Bengal Cricket Club). There is nothing newly introduce about Rohan Gavaskar. He is the son of retired Indian players Sunil Gavaskar.

Batsman Callum Ferguson has shades of Michael Bevan about him, with the ability to score quickly in the middle order, while the lusty hitting of Cameron White and James Hopes means Andrew Symonds' presence isn't missed as much as it might have been.

Weakest point of the team is Andrew Symonds absent but Western Australia batsman Adam Voges is the new capped player who just has played two oneday international matches.

We all know that the world number one wicket keeper Adam Gilchrist has said good-bye from international cricket. Brad Haddin who is a real alternative of Gilchrist, scored 1,490 runs from 53 matches.

Squad: Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke, Nathan Bracken, Callum Ferguson, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Tim Paine (wk), Peter Siddle, Adam Voges, Shane Watson, Cameron White.
