Having regained his captaincy, Sourav Ganguly [Images] declared he is looking forward to a partnership with Rahul Dravid [Images] and coach Greg Chappell [Images] to make the Indian team a winning combination in Zimbabwe.

"I hope it becomes a good partnership among Dravid, Greg and I, so that we can get a winning combination," Ganguly said minutes after being named captain of the team for the tour of Zimbabwe later this month.

"We hope to do well in Zimbabwe. We need to improve our performance in the ODIs. We have not done well in the shorter version of the game in the past one year," he added.

Asked what difference regaining the captaincy would mean for the team, Ganguly replied, "I just want to say, whoever is the captain the team has to play well."

Ganguly said he would leave for Mumbai on Saturday to attend the selection committee meeting to pick the team for the Zimbabwe tri-series that will also involve New Zealand [Images]. The Indians would then play two Tests against the African nation.

Asked whether there would be any changes in the team since it did not play well in Sri Lanka [Images], Ganguly said, "I can't say that now. I will have to sit and discuss it."

Asked about working as skipper with Chappell, he replied, "I am looking forward to it."
