But we will take a decision very soon,&quot; Board Of Control For Cricket In India president Dalmiya told IANS.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Following media reports, speculation is rife that Ganguly, a joint secretary of the Cricket Association of Bengal, has expressed his desire to replace Duncan Fletcher, whose term as India coach ended after the World Cup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Ganguly, though, expressed surprise over the reports.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;I am hearing this for the first time,&quot; Ganguly said when asked if he was in the fray to be the next coach.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;I don&#39;t want to say anything on this. Let&#39;s not speculate. Don&#39;t jump the gun,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">He also denied having met Dalmiya over the issue.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;No no no I meet him every day, he is the president and I am the secretary,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">Asked who would be a better coach, himself or Rahul Dravid, who is also said to be in the fray, Ganguly replied: &quot;Both can be, Rahul has been a great batsman.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
