NEW DELHI: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha has opened up about his departure from the national team in 2022, stating that it was not an injustice but a decision based on team needs. The 40-year-old played his final match at Eden Gardens in Bengal's Ranji Trophy game against Punjab on Thursday, marking the end of an illustrious career.
Saha's international journey effectively concluded in 2021 when the Indian team management, led by head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma, opted for KS Bharat as Rishabh Pant's backup. While the decision was a turning point in his career, Saha harbors no bitterness about it.
