Chetan Sharma has stated that he requested all the four players to play the Ranji Trophy – But they have denied it. And from the selector’s point of view, each player’s selection criteria will be mainly based upon their performance in the domestic circuit.
So keeping all these things in consideration they have not selected all 4 players. Even Saha has not played a Ranji Game and Well to be very precise he has opted out of Ranji Trophy 2022.
When the chief selector Chetan Sharma was asked about why Saha was dropped he replied – “I can’t tell you on what grounds he (Saha) has been dropped. It is for the selectors. All I can tell you is that he was told before.”
In a recent interview, Saha said – “Yes, the team management told me that I would not be considered henceforth. I could not tell this so long as I was part of the India team setup.”
He has further stated – “Even coach Rahul Dravid suggested that I think about taking retirement,”
He has also stated – “When I hit an unbeaten 61 taking a painkiller in the first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur last November, Dadi (as Sourav Ganguly was referred to by Bengal players) congratulated me over Whatsapp. He even mentioned that I should not worry about anything as long as he is at the helm of the BCCI. Such a message from the board President really boosted my confidence. But I failed to understand why everything changed so fast,”
