Remembering his association with Ganguly, a stint that saw the rise of Indian cricket, Wright said, "It's always worthwhile to come back to Kolkata.... "That was a fantastic time (in Indian cricket). We challenged each other. We had endlesss debates, there were times when we agreed and disagreed. We all were passionate about working together. "In Sachin (Tendulkar), (Rahul) Dravid, (Jawagal) Srinath, (Anil) Kumble, VVS (Laxman), (Harbhajan) Singh, we had a group of players who had the desire to become worldclass cricketers." the former India coach said about the chemistry he shared with Ganguly.
