‌Wriddhiman Saha set to hang boots after Ranji Trophy edition with Bengal

Saha made his debut against South Africa in 2010 but cemented his position in the Indian Test team following MS Dhoni’s Test retirement in 2014. He was a regular in the Indian red-ball setup until Rishabh Pant announced himself in the format. The Siliguri-born scored 1353 runs in 56 innings with three centuries and six fifties under his name before being a second choice to Pant at the fag end of his International career. Following his last T20 against New Zealand at the Wankhede, the Rahul Dravid-led coaching unit suggested Saha to move on as they wished to invest more time in young lads. 

Currently, Saha is a part of the Bengal setup and preparing for the Ranji Trophy round four clash against Karnataka in Bengaluru. He came into the State after two years with Tripura as a mentor cum cricketer. Although he left Bengal on bad terms after a clash of words with CAB joint-secretory Debabrata Das, former India captain Sourav Ganguly acted as the mediator to bring Saha back into the Bengal team. Current Bengal vice-captain Sudip Chatterjee is yet another veteran of the State who returned to the side with Saha.
