The Madhya Pradesh-born wicket-keeper, Naman Ojha made his first class debut in 2001 but it took him 14 years to represent India at the Test level. After MS Dhoni was declared unfit for the first Test, Saha was set to keep the wickets. However, a minor injury to Saha before the series led to BCCI naming Ojha as his back-up.

But, he could not make his Test debut in the series as Saha was declared fit for the first Test. Naman failed to play a single Test in the series but the stalwart made his debut for the Indian team later that year against Sri Lanka.
