Saha joins Tripura as mentor-cum-player

The Hindu  

Wriddhiman Saha has taken up a role as Tripura’s player-cum-mentor for the upcoming domestic season. After skipping the Ranji Trophy for Bengal, Saha met Cricket Association of Bengal president Avishek Dalmiya last week and formally obtained a No Objection Certificate from the State association. However, after the Bengal squad for the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 season knockouts was announced by the CAB, Saha had indicated to Dalmiya that he might no longer play for Bengal. He was upset with comments by a senior CAB official, who had raised questions over Saha’s commitment after his decision to skip the group stage of the Ranji Trophy due to personal reasons. Last season, Tripura had reached the knockouts of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and the TCA officials are hopeful that Saha's inclusion will boost the young team.
