Prediction Description
There is a fair amount of speculation about whether Sourav Ganguly will lose the captaincy of the Indian cricket team by the end of 2005. This is a decision that will have as much to do with politics as with cricket: if the Pawar-Dungarpur camp wins the forthcoming BCCI elections, Ganguly will be in trouble. And even if Ranbir Singh Mahendra wins, he could assert his independence from Jagmohan Dalmiya by sacking Ganguly, whom he hates.

Indisposition to Ganguly that causes him to miss some games will not be considered his losing the captaincy. Only if someone else is appointed captain despite Ganguly being available will he have considered to have lost the captaincy.

Arbitration will be based on information appearing on news reports appearing in the Indian Express or The Hindu, on 31 Dec 2005. The prediction may be closed earlier if the event occurs and is brought to the notice of the moderators.
