"Dhoni is a great cricketer and set standards at international arena. He still has cricket left in him to represent India for some more years," Ganguly told media.

"One will have to work hard and perform to reach the level of Dhoni, who has set standard in the cricket arena in the world," the southpaw said. (Read: dhoni-the-finisher-has-some-unfinished-business)

Ganguly, who is also the BCCI Technical Committee chairman, however, refused to get drawn into the prediction game on who would lead India in the next World Cup."We have still time to decide the ODI captain, which is to be held in 2019," he told media.

When asked about who possessed an aggression on-field like him in the current squad, Ganguly said Virat Kohli has it to take the team forward.

"He has been performing well and is efficient enough to lead the country forward," he said.

He also supported Yuvraj Singh on his return to the Indian squad for the upcoming Australia tour.

"I am confident that he will perform and prove his mettle," he said.

About the possibility of the India-Pak series, Ganguly said, "Obviously, everyone wants India-Pakistan series to resume as the matches between two nationhas always been exciting...we too support the series to take place but certainly everything is not in the hand of the board".
