Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha has been at the center of multiple controversies lately. The 37-year-old was dropped from the Indian squad for the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. He was evidently disappointed as his outburst came out in public. Saha made some sensational revelations regarding his conversations with head coach Rahul Dravid and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, which became a talking point in the cricket circle.

Saha had said that Dravid indirectly suggested him to take retirement, saying the team is not looking at him for future assignments. On the other hand, he also said Ganguly had assured him a place in the side in November last year. As per the latest developments, these statements can put Saha in trouble as he has violated the protocols, which should be followed by a centrally-contracted cricketer.

As per the latest developments, Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) is set to felicitate Rohit Sharma for becoming India’s captain across all three formats of the game. While the 34-year-old got the reins of white-ball teams last year, he was recently named the skipper of the Test team. The upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka at home will mark Rohit’s maiden captaincy assignment in Test cricket.

With the veteran opener taking giant strides, MCA decided to honour him. The decision was made during the MCA Apex Council meeting held on Thursday (February 24). Meanwhile, several other players, hailing from Mumbai, will also be felicitated. Among those is U19 star Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who was instrumental in India’s triumph at the Under-19 World Cup 2022. With 278 runs in six matches, he finished as India’s highest run-scorer.

Justin Langer’s exit as Australia’s head coach last month didn’t go down well with several members of the cricket fraternity, who wanted the former opener to continue in the role. Even Test skipper Pat Cummins also came under the scanner as he didn’t endorse La.
