CAB gives NOC to Wriddhiman Saha. Cricket News – Times of India

Kolkata: Veteran left India Wriddhiman Co: was given on saturday no objection certificate (No Objection Certificate) by Cricket Association of BengalTheir 15-year association ended in acrimonious circumstances.
Saha, a 40-Test veteran, who will turn 38 in October, was categorically told by the Indian team management that they do not want an aged second wicketkeeper. Since then Saha has been criticized BCCI President Sourav Ganguly And initially he didn’t have charitable things to say about head coach Dravid.
“Mr Wriddhiman Saha has come cab and sought a no-objection certificate from the association in an application to President Avishek Dalmiya,” the CAB said.
It said, “CAB agreed to Mr. Saha’s request and granted him NOC to play for another state. CAB wished him all the best for his future endeavours.”
He decided to leave Bengal after CAB joint secretary Debabrata ‘Debu’ Das alleged that the veteran keeper makes excuses for the state to skip home matches.
An enraged Saha wanted to seek an unconditional apology from Das, which he did not get and when the officer was sent to England as the administrative manager of the Indian team, it broke the camel’s back.
Saha was last in the news for the role of a player-cum-mentor with Tripura, but a top official claimed that he demanded “excessive fees” for the contract.
“There has been no development till now after demanding exorbitant fee apart from the regular match fee (Rs 2.4 lakh per match),” the official told PTI.
“Tripura is currently embroiled in problems between the two faction groups and a case is going on in the High Court against the present establishment. The elections are due in September.”
But the veteran keeper’s claim that Ganguly had assured him of retaining him in the Indian team till he was the president raised eyebrows and Saha could never provide conclusive evidence as to what the former India captain’s verbatim statement was. .
“After scoring 61 against New Zealand in Kanpur, Dadi (Sourav Ganguly) congratulated me on WhatsApp and said, ‘As long as I am here (handling BCCI), you will be in the team’.
“This kind of message from the BCCI President really boosted my confidence. I am struggling to understand how things have turned so fast,” the wicketkeeper-batsman said in his post on getting the boot from the national team. was accused.
After making his debut against Hyderabad in 2007, the Siliguri-born Saha featured in 122 first-class and 102 List A games. He has also played 40 Tests and 9 ODIs for India.
