Wriddhiman Saha retired from all forms of cricket on February 1, 2025.

Indian wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha played his last representative cricket match on February 1, 2025. Last year, Saha had confirmed that the ongoing domestic season would be his last and he would bid adieu to international, domestic, cricket and the IPL.

Saha started his domestic career in 2007, making his First Class and List A debuts against Hyderabad and Assam, respectively.

He received his test and ODI caps in 2010, but it was only after MS Dhoni’s test retirement at the end of 2014 that he became a regular member of India’s test team. In 2018, he was replaced by Rishabh Pant in the role and managed to make only a few appearances after Pant’s rise.

Saha earned a reputation as being one of the best wicket-keepers of his generation.
