People are reacting as if he will lead Karnataka for the first time. He has been Karnataka's regular captain for the last two seasons.
Most people here obviously have no clue about domestic cricket. They only jump up when they find some news about a familiar name. Vinay Kumar captained South Zone in the Duleep Trophy and people are surprised to see that he is leading Karnataka. :giggle:

I knew that but now captaining Karnataka for a whole Ranji season is just hilarious!

Ganguly opts out of Bengal Ranji squad http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/588575.html

Sourav Ganguly has opted out of the Bengal Ranji Trophy squad for the upcoming season. Despite retiring from international cricket in 2008, Ganguly, 40, had continued to play the Ranji Trophy, captaining Bengal in most of their first-class matches last season. In Ganguly's absence, Manoj Tiwary has been named Bengal captain. One of the Bengal board's joint secretaries, though, said that Ganguly could return later in the season. "He would not play the first two matches, but depending on our team's position we may get his services later on," Sujan Mukherjee said. "It's a youthful side but we have players with international experience, looking forward to a positive season." Squad: Manoj Tiwary (capt), Parthasarathi Bhattacharjee, Rohan Banerjee, Jayojit Basu, Writam Porel, Anustup Majumdar, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Iresh Saxena, Ashok Dinda, Sourav Sarkar, Arnab Nandy, Veer Pratap Singh, Subhomoy Das and Aritra Chatterjee

Ganguly opts out of Bengal Ranji squad

Sourav Ganguly has opted out of the Bengal Ranji Trophy squad for the upcoming season. Despite retiring from international cricket in 2008, Ganguly, 40, had continued to play the Ranji Trophy, captaining Bengal in most of their first-class matches last season. In Ganguly's absence, Manoj Tiwary has been named Bengal captain. One of the Bengal board's joint secretaries, though, said that Ganguly could return later in the season. "He would not play the first two matches, but depending on our team's position we may get his services later on," Sujan Mukherjee said. "It's a youthful side but we have players with international experience, looking forward to a positive season." Ganguly has played domestic cricket in recent years with the aim of staying fit for the IPL, a tournament which he hinted he might not play next year. "I have spoken to Pune [Warriors] officials. Maybe I will not play IPL anymore," he told the Bengali daily Ananda Bazar Patrika. "I had told the Pune management last year that I may not play in the IPL anymore." Ganguly captained Pune in the IPL this season, but had a difficult time as they finished bottom of the table with just four wins in 16 matches. Ganguly 's personal form was similarly poor, as he managed only 268 runs in 15 innings at less than a run-a-ball and also looked slow in the field. Subroto Roy, the owner of the Pune franchise, had said during the IPL that Ganguly would not play next season, and be a team mentor instead, but no decision was taken then. Bengal squad: Manoj Tiwary (capt), Parthasarathi Bhattacharjee, Rohan Banerjee, Jayojit Basu, Writam Porel, Anustup Majumdar, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Laxmi Ratan Shukla, Iresh Saxena, Ashok Dinda, Sourav Sarkar, Arnab Nandy, Veer Pratap Singh, Subhomoy Das and Aritra Chatterjee
http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/588575.html?CMP=outlook_news Is it the end of Sourav Ganguly in IPL?
New Delhi: With the Indian Premier League team's given the deadline of October 31 for declaring the names players they want to retain or put up for auction, it's an interesting few days on the cards ahead. And the biggest speculation that's making round is whether Sourav Ganguly is finally going to call it day as player from the league? Talking to Bengali daily, Ganguly has reportedly expressed his desire to be off the action. He has even conveyed his wish to the Pune Warriors officials, who reportedly, have agreed to part with him. In their first year, Yuvraj Singh was the captain for Pune. Due to his illness, he couldn;t be a part of the team this year as Sourav Ganguly took over the mantle. It is being speculated that with Yuvi back in the fold, he will return to the position. Or else, Michale Clarke's one-year contract will re-done and the Aussie captain may take over the Pune captaincy as well. Though it is not sure whether Ganguly would like to take up the role of mentor, or whether he has been approached for it too, the former India captain himself isn't willing to become a full-time coach just yet

Bengal team announced and now Shami' date=' is he inkured as all I knew after NZ tour was , it was a minor side strain, also very dissapointed with Mumbai selections, all trundlers.[/quote'] Shami has a side strain and will take some time to recover. Maybe he'll be back after a couple of matches. Still Dinda, VP Singh and Sourav Sarkar are a potent pace attack.

Time for Ranji Trophy to regain primacy http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-blog/time-ranji-trophy-regain-primacy/32472

Now, with new rules, a new format and presumably a new attitude, there is hope for the Ranji. Already the big names are back. Tendulkar, who hasn’t played in four years, is keen, as his 40th birthday approaches, to get in some first class cricket ahead of the England tour. Ditto Zaheer Khan, although his 40th is some years away. One of the positive fallouts of the much-criticised Champions League Twenty20 2012 is this keenness by players to get in some first-class match practice.

Maybe people wanted Uthappa or Pandey or Appanna or Mithun to captain. :winky:
And he wasnt captaining Karnataka in Ranji trophy last year for the whole season?:cantstop:
I have found the Vinay Kumar ridiculing quite ridiculous actually. In general, bowling captains are not preferred but this is really on a different level.

He has not played a FC game as yet. He does not average quite great in List A as well.
That's what I was pointing out as well (regarding his not playing an FC game as yet). It's high time they draft him into the Ranji team. Das has always had issues in terms of building an innings, but he can do a few things better than the other batsmen in the squad. Looks to be in good form right now. Should have been picked on the basis of potential and recent form.
