Opinion: The BCCI should have an honest conversation with Wriddhiman Saha soon

Wriddhiman Saha episode. In fact many who don't are also aware of it, thanks to the many headlines that have been dedicated to this and of course with it trending on social media. The details are all public knowledge and that of course means that everyone has an opinion about it.

While that doesn't sound like the best possible scenario, it is important to view the entire matter in a dispassionate way and that is where certain opinions might play a crucial role. This saga in many ways is a three pronged one. One - the details that Saha divulged about the conversations that Head coach Rahul Dravid and Chief selector Chetan Sharma had with him, about his future in Indian cricket.

Two - the message he received from Sourav Ganguly, the BCCI president, before he had the above mentioned conversations with Dravid and Sharma. Three - the messages, some of them clearly bordering on threats, which he received from an unnamed journalist who wanted an interview with him after he was dropped from the Indian Test team. It's not very often that one hears or reads about personal, often confidential, conversations or messages between administrators and players, unless it gives information about the plans that the management has for certain players - like Chetan Sharma talking about Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara going back to domestic cricket and playing in the Ranji Trophy and the conversation that he had with them.
