Kolkata, July 24 - Retired Indian cricket captain Soruav Ganguly Friday took pot shots at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), saying its rules were not the same for all cricketers.

To a query whether he could have served the Indian team well had he continued to play at the top level like Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly told the Begnali television channel Star Ananda: 'Yes, I had the ability. Had I played, I would have performed. But the rules are not the same for everyone.'

Ganguly retired from international cricket after the home series against Australia late last year.
