"I haven't given things a thought beyond this Test. It's an important match and I've got to stay focused. I'll think of the future once it gets over," Ganguly was quoted as saying by the Herald Sun newspaper on Wednesday.
The former skipper has been in superb form since his comeback and continued his good run in the ongoing Test series but his fielding skills or rather lack of it cost him the ODI berth.
Rival skipper Ricky Ponting was also surprised not to see the Bengal left-hander in the one-day squad.
"I am surprised and shocked that he is not in the side because right through this Test series, he has certainly looked good with the bat," he said.
Selectors had also wielded their axe on former captain Rahul Dravid and stylish right-hander VVS Laxman to pave the way for youngsters to come in for the one-day tri series, also involving Sri Lanka, beginning February 3 after a one-off Twenty20 tie.
Ponting felt one-day cricket was gradually becoming a youngster's game.
"That's the way, one-day cricket is becoming a younger person's game and fielding has become such an important aspect.
"They (Indians) are looking at a more youthful sort of approach," he said.

To begin with I supplement the view that one cricket has become young cricketers game..But at the same time experience is required..One can not ignore the experience of the a great player like Ganguly when he is in such prime form.. Selectors must see his performance in the last one year. He is the second highest run scorer for India in one day cricket after his return..Importance must be given to fielding..But for that the team needs to put on some scores on the board and need to defend it. Youngsters need to go through the grind and show their dependability against the senior or star who is being ousted at their cost..Lastly, a player of Ganguly's stature who has served the nation for such a long period of time consistently need to be shown some respect..
Dhony is not a good captain But lucky, his thinking are harmful for India Cricket Team
he z good but the worst thing he did z taking out ganguly ok nw hz problem z fieldng so y cant he get a substitue at the time of fielding really it was shocking news for the indians, dhoni
There are two things i would like to point about. one if ganguly was dropped due to his lack of fielding abilities then why was dravid dropped. Two if it was for giving way to youngsters then why was'nt tendulkar dropped
The two heros are in great form, and also to face the australian pace we need a technically perfect and experianced batsmens lake Rahul and Sourav. The team without them is nothing but getting problems on head by knowing. Selectors came to know that they have done great mistake by dropping them after the ODI series against Australia
