Wriddhiman Saha

KS Bharat roped in India's squad for the WTC final as a cover for Wriddhiman Saha

The Indian selection committee has reportedly included Andhra wicket-keeper KS Bharat as cover for Wriddhiman Saha. Saha has recently recovered from the Covid-19 virus. The decision is said to be precautionary, and KS Bharat, who is an India A regular, is anticipated to travel to England with the rest of the team. Indian wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha had recently tested Covid-19 negative and was also likely to be a part of the 20-man squad for the England tour. Notably, Wriddhiman Saha had tested positive for the novel coronavirus on May 4. This was hours before the BCCI decided to postpone the 14th season of the Indian Premier League for an indefinite time period. Thus, the selection committee did not take any chances, and they opted to include KS Bharat in the squad considering the COVID-19 protocols.
