Team India discard Wriddhiman Saha has confirmed his retirement from competitive cricket through a recent social media post on X.

Wridhhiman Saha's Career

Wriddhiman Saha rejoined the Bengal cricket team for India’s 2024-25 domestic season after a two-year gig with Tripura. In Bengal’s opening Elite Group C match of the tournament against Uttar Pradesh last month, the right-handed batter was dismissed for a six-ball duck.

He averages 29.41 in Tests and nearly 42 in all first-class cricket, having scored over 7,000 runs in 138 matches with 14 centuries and 43 additional scores of fifty or more. Wriddhiman Saha also notched up three Test centuries against teams like West Indies, Bangladesh and Australia in 40 matches for India.

The red-ball expert played the last of his 40 Tests for India back in December 2021 with a home match against New Zealand at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
