Amid the raging controversy about Sourav Ganguly's [ Images ] exclusion from the Indian cricket team for the third Test against Sri Lanka [ Images ], the Lok Sabha will discuss the issue next week.
Responding to a submission by Mohan Singh that the issue should be added in the agenda for next week in the House, Speaker Somnath Chatterjee [ Images ] said: "I have allowed this to be added in the agenda. The issue will come up for discussion."
He said great "injustice" had been meted out to the deposed India [ Images ] captain, "who is a great world-class player, due to politics in the game".
"Such incidents will affect the morale of young players and we must take corrective measures," he added.
