India head coach Rahul Dravid stated that the recent outburst from Wriddhiman Saha has not diminished his high opinion of the wicketkeeper-batter. Dravid explained that he did indeed tell Saha that he would not find a place in the Test squad, and that these tough conversations come from a place of respect.
“I’m not hurt at all (with what Saha said). I have deep respect for him and his contribution to Indian cricket. My conversation with him happened because of that respect.
