Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) owner Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday hailed Sourav Ganguly's selection to the Test squad and said he was happy for the former Indian skipper.

"I feel happy for Sourav Ganguly," Khan told reporters on the sidelines of his first meeting with the new Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) President Jagmohan Dalmiya.

"I am a Kolkata Knight Rider, so be it Sourav Ganguly, Ajantha Mendis or Brendon McCullum. It makes me happy when any of our players do well. We have already started our next season preparation in Australia, and we are upbeat about our good show next season," he added.

Asked if he sees Sourav's selection as some kind of a compromise formula, Khan quipped: "I am Shah Rukh Khan, not BCCI."

Calling himself a 'Kolkata-vaasi', the Bollywood star said he had become a resident of the city, the day he bought the KKR's franchise.
