Jasprit Bumrah’s Workload Debate: Balwinder Singh Sandhu Criticizes Modern “Workload
Widdhiman Saha speaks to the BCCI regarding a journalism controversy.
Wriddhiman Saha, the senior Indian wicketkeeper who claims a journalist pressured him into not giving an interview, said on Saturday that he has told the BCCI committee probing the issue of everything that happened. On Saturday, a three-member committee met with Saha to investigate the 37-year-old allegations levelled against the unnamed journalist. I have informed the committee of all I am aware of. I’ve given them all the information. I’m afraid I can’t tell you much right now. Saha told reporters after testifying in front of the committee in New Delhi that he had been instructed not to speak about the meeting outside of that meeting since they would answer all their questions.
Saha, a centrally contracted player, claimed in a series of tweets on February 23, prompting the BCCI to launch an investigation.
It all started when the 37-year-old was snubbed for the current Sri Lanka series.
In an outburst, Saha revealed certain private dressing room chats he had with head coach Rahul Dravid. He said that Dravid informed him in South Africa that he was no longer a part of the team.
The wicketkeeper-batter also said that Chetan Sharma, the head of the national selection committee, informed him that he was no longer being considered.
Saha was just downgraded to Group C on the BCCI’s central contracts list.
