Wriddhiman Saha vs CAB row: Veteran keeper exits Bengal WhatsApp group as chaos amplifies

Wriddhiman Saha hasn’t had the best of times off the field in the recent past. Firstly, he made a lot of noise following his spat with journalist Boria Majumdar, which led to the latter’s two-year suspension by the BCCI. Now, the veteran Indian keeper-batter’s relations with the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) have turned from bad to worse. It all started when Saha refused to turn up for Bengal after being dropped from India’s Test squad in February. Later, he also refused to appear in the knockout matches of the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 edition. While CAB Secretary Avishek Dalmiya had earlier informed that he was set to reach out to Saha, however, he decided against it. Now, the matter has escalated further as the cricket board might send the Bengal veteran player a No Objection Certificate so that he can pursue his domestic career elsewhere.  With regard to the NoC, a CAB official told the Indian Express, “What to do? If he is that stubborn, we have to give him. But nobody should try to arm-twist the state association, as it is bigger than any individual.” ALSO READ | India vs SA T20Is: Shikhar Dhawan was informed about his omission by coach Rahul Dravid – Report…
