The Indian cricket management has taken many tough decisions regarding the Test series against Sri Lanka. Four senior players have been discharged from the team. Ishant Sharma, wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Ajinkya Rahane. These four experienced players will not be seen playing in the series. Wicket-keeper batsman Saha had targeted Team India's coach after being dropped from the team on Sunday. He had said that coach Rahul Dravid had asked him to retire. Now coach Dravid has responded to Saha's allegations.
I have great respect for Saha
After the third T20 against West Indies, Dravid said in the press conference, 'I am not at all saddened by what Saha said. I have a lot of respect for Wriddhiman and his achievements and his contribution to Indian cricket. My conversation with him was very clear. I did not want him to hear this from the media.
This year we are going to play only three Test matches. Rishabh Pant has established himself well in the team. Now another young wicketkeeper needs to be groomed. It is not because Saha's contribution and my respect for him have changed.
If players are not selected in the team, they are sad.
On Saha's allegations, Dravid said, "Even now when we select the playing XI, we talk to all the players who are not selected. He is sad. it is common. I just feel that everything should be clear in this team of mine.
I always talk to players like this
Dravid further said about Saha in the press conference, 'I keep having such conversations with my players. I am not sad about it at all, because I don't expect him to like or agree with everything I say. It does not mean that you will avoid such talk or will not do such things at all.
KS Bharat in place of Saha
Wriddhiman Saha is running out of playing XI for the South Africa series. He did not get a chance to play a single match in the 3-match Test series played in South Africa. In place of Saha, Rishabh Pant continued to take care of the responsibility of keeping in the team. Now young KS Bharat has been made part of the team in place of Saha in the series against Sri Lanka.
Bharat has been doing well in domestic cricket for a long time and can play anywhere in the batting order. Saha last played for Team India against New Zealand.
What was Saha's allegation?
Team India's wicket-keeper batsman said after being removed from the team, 'I am not participating in Ranji Trophy this year because I have been told that my name will no longer be considered for Team India. Also, coach Dravid has advised me to retire.
Ganguly made a false promise
Saha had also targeted former India captain and BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. According to Saha, Ganguly had assured him that he should not worry about his place in Team India. When Saha scored an unbeaten 61 in the Test match against New Zealand in Kanpur, taking pain medicine, Dada had also congratulated him by sending a message.
According to Saha, Ganguly told him that as long as he is the president of the BCCI, he does not need to worry about anything. Saha's confidence had increased a lot after hearing such a talk from the board president, but now Saha says that he is no longer able to understand how everything has changed so quickly. A false promise was made to him.
