From the website www.webchats.tv The man who former England captain Geoffrey Boycott called The Prince of Calcutta' has travelled the world throughout his record-breaking career. Sourav Ganguly is the seventh Indian cricketer to have played 100 Test matches, the fifth highest overall Test run scorer for India and the fourth Indian to have played in more than 300 One Day Internationals. As the most successful Test captain of his country, Ganguly led India in a record 49 Test matches between 2000 and 2005. His teammates affectionately called him Dada, which means eldeer brother in Bengali, but constant touring meant Sourav was regularly away from his real family, often for long stretches of time. Other great sportsmen and women have succumbed to the stress and lonliness of travelling for the job, so Sourav joins us in our live interactive web TV show to talk about life as a cricketer travelling the globe. Research from Vyke shows that 40% of people from British ethnic communities keep in touch with their families by calls and text, showing that you don't need to be an international sports star to face the problem of keeping in touch with loved ones abroad. Log in to ask Sourav about his career and how he copes with the challenges of staying in touch when he's away from home.
