''Who will prevent Sourav's return to the national team? He will make a definite comeback,'' a confident Bhattacharjee said in reply to a query on whether Ganguly would be able to regain his place in the Indian side.
Bhattacharjee, who was all praise for the cricketer, said he had a long telephonic discussion with Ganguly recently.
The chief minister, however, declined to divulge details about his talks with Ganguly, now in Ahemedabad to lead Bengal in the Duleep Trophy final.
''Please, do not ask me the details,'' Bhattacharjee said.
