#2 Saha barred from playing Ranji Trophy by BCCI

Wriddhiman Saha became India's regular keeper-batsman in Tests after MS Dhoni retired

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has instructed India and Bengal wicket-keeper batsman, Wriddhiman Saha, not to take part in Bengal's next Ranji Trophy fixture against Delhi to keep away any injury concerns. Saha has missed all of Bengal's Ranji season till now. The surprise decision came to light after Ishant Sharma injured his ankle and was declared unfit to travel to New Zealand for the Test tour next month.

Bengal coach Arun Lal said after the win against Hyderabad a day ago that Saha wanted to take part in Ranji games but wasn't allowed by the BCCI.

"Wriddhi will not be available for Delhi match (at Eden Gardens from Sunday). I think the Board (BCCI) has said no to him."
