Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly believes he is still good enough to play for India and is hurt by the way he is being treated.

Ganguly, who lost captaincy and his place in the team following his sensational spat with coach Greg Chappell, refused to pinpoint any particular person for his ouster but said there is obviously someone who did not want him in the team.

"It is difficult for me to pinpoint any particular reason but the bottomline is that I am out of the team for whatever reasons and that's what matters. I have just played two games in the last 12 months for India," Ganguly told CNN-IBN in an interview.

Asked if Chappell was the one to be blamed for his omission, he said, "see obviously when I am not a part of the team, somebody does not want you to be in the team and that could be anybody. It is very difficult to pinpoint any particular person because there are a whole lot of people involved in team selection.

"I have seen that as a captain. Captain, coach, selectors, everybody is involved so its is very difficult to pinpoint any particular person. But obviously things did not fall together for a player to be picked."

On whether it hurts to be out of the team, the Bengal left-hander said, "it does, it does. Because I still feel I am good enough and that's the way it is. There must be something wrong which has kept me out."
