Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly [Images] will feature in the first Asian Super Sixes tournament in Pakistan next month, an organiser said on Thursday.
"Four teams Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka [Images] and Bangladesh have confirmed their participation in the two-day event on September 15 and 16 at the National stadium in Karachi," co-ordinator Rashid Khan said.
The tournament is being held with the permission of the Pakistan Cricket Board by former Test captain and wicketkeeper, Moin Khan.
Ganguly, discarded by the Indian selectors since playing in the Test series in Pakistan this year, has been named in the provisional India squad for the ICC [Images] Champions Trophy scheduled for October and November in India.
Rashid said the organisers are hoping for sell-out crowds for the tournament and want to make it an annual event.
