Sourav Ganguly's departure for South Africa has been delayed owing to passport hassles and he would now join the Indian team a day late. Ganguly's passport could not reach Delhi in time for completing visa formalities.

Ganguly, who was recalled to the Indian Test team after a ten-month lay-off, would now leave for Johannesburg early on Tuesday. He was originally scheduled to leave for South Africa in the wee hours of December 4.

"He will now leave for South Africa at 2 am on Tuesday," Niranjan Shah, the board secretary, told Cricinfo. "Ganguly's visa formalities could not be completed as due to the bandh in Bengal last Friday his passport reached Delhi on Friday evening."

With Saturday and Sunday being holidays, the earliest Ganguly's visa can be processed is tomorrow. "He will be in Johannesburg on Tuesday [December 5] morning, in time for the four-day warm-up game."
