Vadodara, Aug 1: Sourav Ganguly, cold-shouldered since returning from Pakistan in January, is likely to be considered when the selectors pick 30 probables for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in India.

According to sources in the BCCI, the 34-year-old former Indian captain is likely to get a call-up when the list is finalized.

"Why not? Not only Ganguly, but quite a few others (currently out of favour) are also expected to be considered for the probables list," the sources said.

The left-handed Ganguly had lost his captaincy first and then his place in the team following a bitter spat with coach Greg Chappell.

If picked among the probables, it will be the first step towards rehabilitation for the Bengal stylist, who has over 10,000 ODI runs under his belt and is fresh from a stint with English county Northamptonshire.

The preliminary list is to be whittled down to a final list of 14 and submitted to the International Cricket Council by all teams participating in the prestigious one-day championship, to be held from October 7-November 5, by September 7.
