Former India captain Sourav Ganguly is in talks with English county Northamptonshire about playing for them for five weeks from June, it was reported on Friday.

"There is a possibility of me playing for Northamptonshire this season, but nothing has been finalised," Ganguly was quoted as saying by the Press Trust of India (PTI).

Northants official Mark Tack confirmed the county was seeking the left-handed batsman as a replacement for Chris Rogers who has been called up for duty with the Australia A team.

"We are looking for a replacement for Rogers. A final decision will be made in a week's time," Tack told PTI.

If a contract is finalised, Ganguly will play county cricket for five weeks from the end of June, Tack said.

Ganguly, who played for Glamorgan last season, is unlikely to make up his mind before May 24 when the Indian Test squad will be named for the West Indies series.

Ganguly is not in the one-day team that left for the Caribbean early Friday for a series of five internationals that precede the four Test matches against the West Indies.

"Sourav will wait to see if he is picked for the Test matches, otherwise he will play in England," a source close to the cricketer told AFP.
