This effectively brings an end to Saha’s glorious career with Bengal from where he made his Ranji debut in November 2007 and went on to play 122 first-class and 102 List A matches. Kolkata: Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha on Thursday made it official to the Cricket Association of Bengal that he is “not willing” to play for the state team in the upcoming Ranji Trophy knockouts. “The Cricket Association of Bengal wanted Wriddhiman Saha to play for Bengal at this crucial juncture especially when Bengal would be fighting in the knockout stage in a bid to win the Ranji Trophy after becoming the top ranked team in the country at the end of the Group Stage,” CAB president Avishek Dalmiya said in a statement. Saha first had pulled out of Ranji Trophy group stage citing ‘personal reasons’ after he was excluded from the Indian Test team for the two-match home series against Sri Lanka in February.
