India wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha's inclusion in Category 'B', while Rishabh Pant remains in 'A', in the newly released BCCI central contracts has irked some members of the cricket fraternity.

Former India selector Sambaran Banerjee expressed shock at this development. "When the India captain [Virat Kohli] has said that Saha is the best wicketkeeper in the world, how can the player then be in the 'B' category? Are the India captain and the BCCI differing in their view? Red-ball cricket is somewhat like classical music—the truest form. So, how can your best wicketkeeper not get the best contract," Banerjee told mid-day yesterday.
