Out of favour Bengal off-spinner Saurashish Lahiri has decided to call it quits.

"He met me and we will call a news conference on Thursday to announce his retirement," Ganguly said.
Once Bengal's leading offspinner, the 34-year-old was dropped last season and did not play a single match with the state roping in former India leftarm spinner Pragyan Ojha.
