Despite performing well in the series against New Zealand Saha was ignored for 2 test series against Sri Lanka. Not only this but Saha claims that team’s coach Rahul Dravid asked him to take retirement.
“I have played with a neck injury in New Zealand and we were almost close to winning the game. Dadi (Dada/Sourav) had assured me, ‘as long as I’m here, you don’t need to worry’. It was an obvious mental boost for me. Ultimately in South Africa, it was the complete opposite. I was shocked. I fail to understand what happened within one test series. Did my age grow older or something else? Dadi said something else and what happened was completely different. Therefore, I was naturally shocked,” Wriddhiman Saha told the media on Saturday.
Even Rahul Dravid told me that there were talks of me being dropped. Indirectly, I was told to take some decisions but I believed it was a personal call. The decision was obviously around retirement,” he added.
Doors not shut on Wriddhiman Saha says Chetan Sharma: The chairman of national selection committee Chetan Sharma has declared that the exclusion of Saha for the Test series against Sri Lanka doesn’t imply his permanent exit from the team.
“We have told them that we will not consider them for the two-Test matches (vs Sri Lanka). We are nobody to close doors for anybody. You score runs, take wickets and play for the country. That’s the most important aspect. I have requested all four of them to go and play Ranji Trophy”
