Wriddhiman Saha Shares Screenshot Of Messages From A "Journalist", Virender Sehwag Reacts

Wriddhiman Saha on Saturday was dropped from the India squad for the two-Test home series against Sri Lanka that starts from March 4. After being axed from the Test team, Saha, in interviews to different media outlets, claimed that team management headed by head coach Rahul Dravid had told him to think about "retirement" as he won't be considered for selection going forward.
