Veteran India wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha has announced his retirement from cricket, saying that the ongoing Ranji Trophy season will be his last.
The 40-year-old Bengal stumper has featured in 40 Tests and nine ODIs.
The Bengal cricketer took to social media and announced the decision of his retirement.
"After a cherished journey in cricket, this season will be my last. I'm honoured to represent Bengal one final time, playing only in the Ranji Trophy before I retire. Let's make this season one to remember!" the 40-year-old wrote on X.

In an attempt to help Bengal win the Ranji title that evaded him in 2019-20 when they were defeated by Saurashtra in the final, Saha had previously stated that he would not be participating in the BCCI's white-ball tournaments and would instead concentrate on the first-class format.
