KOLKATA: A day after the Bengal senior selectors named Wriddhiman Saha in the Bengal squad for the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal tie against Jharkhand, the wicketkeeper-batter had reportedly asked for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from his state association. Saha, who opted out of the Ranji Trophy league phase citing personal reasons, was not consulted before being named in the squad.
The Siliguri boy called up Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Avishek Dalmiya on Tuesday afternoon seeking release. Dalmiya had an initial talk with Saha who expressed his displeasure about some CAB officials raising questions about his commitment for Bengal. It was learnt that Saha was so hurt by such allegations that he decided to cut all his ties with Bengal cricket.
