Bhutia questions Ganguly's ouster from IPL

Indian football icon Bhaichung Bhutia today batted for IPL discard Sourav Ganguly, saying that his age cannot be a factor for being overlooked in the Indian Premier League auction.

"Age cannot determine how long a player can play. It should always be performance oriented," Bhutia said when asked to react on Ganguly's exit from IPL IV after he found no takers in the players' auction.

Citing example of Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro, Bhutia said: "There are a lot of players like Cannavaro and an Australian goalkeeper who played even at 40. Age should never be a barrier."
