Sourav Ganguly’s brother Snehashish SLAMS Wriddhiman Saha for making private chat with BCCI president public

Saha claimed that BCCI president Ganguly, in a Whatsapp chat, had allegedly assured him a place in the team after his unbeaten 61 runs in the first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur in November.  

After being dropped from India's Test squad, wicketkeeper batter Wriddhiman Saha had lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly.

Saha claimed that BCCI president Ganguly, in a Whatsapp chat, had allegedly assured him a place in the team after his unbeaten 61 runs in the first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur in November.

Now Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) secretary Snehasish Ganguly, who is the elder brother of BCCI president Sourav, came down heavily on Saha, saying the wicketkeeper probably made an error of judgment by publicly commenting on a private conversation.

"After scoring 61 against New Zealand at Kanpur, Dada (Ganguly) congratulated me over WhatsApp and mentioned, 'As long as I'm here (helming the BCCI), you would be in the team'. Such a message from the BCCI president really boosted my confidence. What I'm struggling to understand is that how things have changed so fast," Saha told media persons on Saturday.

Seeing the comments in the media, the CAB secretary Snehasish Ganguly said that Saha should not have made the private conversation with the board president public.
