Kolkata: Wriddhiman Saha created a buzz after he was not picked for the Test squad for the Test versus Sri Lanka. The senior India wicketkeeper took to Twitter and posted a screenshot where a journalist threatened him after he decided not to give an interview. Now, with the controversy snowballing – it was reported that the BCCI has asked Saha to name the journalist.
The veteran cricketer has firstly confirmed that he has not received any communication from BCCI and then said that he would not reveal the identity of the journalist as he does not want to harm anyone.
“I haven’t received any communication from the BCCI yet. If they ask me to reveal the name (of the journalist), I would tell them it was never my intention to harm somebody’s career, to pull a person down. That’s why I didn’t reveal the name in my tweet. That’s not the teaching of my parents. The main purpose of my tweet was to expose the fact that there’s someone in the media who does such things, disrespecting a player’s wish,” Saha told The Indian Express.
