Recalled to the Indian one-day team, Sourav Ganguly [Images] says that apart from his regular role with the bat, he could also be useful as a bowler in the favourable conditions of England [Images] and Ireland.

"I think I can contribute with the ball. It [conditions] will definitely help the ball to move around in England. We are going in the second half [of the summer] and I hope everyone lifts their game," Ganguly told CNN-IBN.

Ganguly felt England would miss Andrew Flintoff [Images] in the ODI and Test series if the talismanic all-rounder fails to recover from the ankle injury.

"Obviously they'll miss Flintoff, who is not a part of their team. Flintoff makes a lot of difference to their squad. But it will be a good series," he added.

Ganguly, along with Sachin Tendulkar [Images], was included in the ODI squad that will play three matches against South Africa in Ireland (June 26-July 1) and another against Pakistan in Glasgow, Scotland (July 3).

The two were rested for the one-day series in Bangladesh last month.

They, however, were part of the Test squad that beat Bangladesh 1-0 and are among the 16 that is to play three Tests in England in July-September.
