Wriddhiman Saha to Rejoin Bengal, Available for All Formats
Veteran cricketer Wriddhiman Saha is set to return to Bengal for the upcoming domestic season, making himself available for all three formats of the game. Saha, who had spent the past two seasons with Tripura following a fallout with a Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) official, is poised to join Bengal’s pre-season practice later this week.
The CAB welcomed Saha’s return, with president Snehasish Ganguly expressing enthusiasm about the addition. Ganguly noted that Saha’s comeback, along with Sudip Chatterjee’s return, will be instrumental in filling the gap left by former captain Manoj Tiwary, who retired at the end of last season.
Saha, known for his selfless approach, emphasised his readiness to contribute in any role the team requires. Despite the rise of young wicketkeeper-batter Abhishek Porel, who has impressed both for Bengal and the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL, Saha has expressed his willingness to step back if needed. “I am happy to be back and will contribute to the best of my abilities,” Saha stated. He added, “If the team management prefers Abhishek as the primary wicketkeeper, I have no objections and am prepared to play as a batter.”
Will saha be an important player
Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha is set to make a significant impact in the upcoming domestic cricket season as he returns to Bengal. After spending the past two years with Tripura, Saha will now play for his home state in all three formats. The seasoned cricketer expressed his excitement about the move, emphasising his commitment to contributing his best throughout the season. “I am happy and excited to be back in Bengal. I am looking forward to playing and giving my best for the state,” Saha stated, as reported by Cricbuzz.
Saha, who has accumulated 7,013 runs in 136 first-class matches, is expected to complement Bengal’s dynamic blend of youthful talent and experienced players. CAB president Snehasish Ganguly welcomed Saha’s return, highlighting the positive impact it will have on the team. “It is a matter of great joy to welcome Wriddhi back in Bengal. His return is expected to strengthen the team, and we aim for a better performance in the upcoming season,” Ganguly said. Saha’s presence is anticipated to boost Bengal’s performance as they prepare for a competitive season ahead.
