Wriddhiman Saha Ready To Play For Bengal In All Three Formats Next Season
Veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha, who returned to Bengal after two seasons with Tripura, expressed his plans to play in all three formats for the state in the forthcoming domestic season.

The decision, however, was a late one, with Neeraj Chopra earlier designated for the role. However, when the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha told Neeraj of the change in plans, the Tokyo Olympics gold medal winner's response proved why he is a gentleman. Neeraj has quickly established his reputation as one of the most humble sportspersons in the game, and this is the reason why.
