Pant is first-choice ’keeper for all three formats; Saha will be the second gloveman in Tests while Bharat misses out
Bengal wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha has been preferred over Andhra’s promising K.S. Bharat for the two-Test series against the West Indies starting August 3.
M.S.K. Prasad, chairman, BCCI’s senior National selection committee, said here on Sunday that the 34-year-old Saha (32 Tests,1164 runs, 3x100s, 75 catches, 10 stumpings) had gone out of the team only because he was injured during the Cape Town Test against South Africa in January 2018.
Elaborating on the Test series team selection, Prasad said: “Bharat was very close to getting selected, but we have an unwritten norm that when an established cricketer gets injured and stages a comeback, an opportunity should be given to him. That’s the reason we have given an opportunity to Saha.
