Wriddhiman Saha's participation in the India vs Afghanistan one-off Test has been thrown into doubt after the Indian wicketkeeper suffered a thumb injury during SunRisers Hyderabad's IPL 2018 Qualifier 2 match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens on May 25. Saha's injury will be assessed by a specialist doctor and the BCCI medical team who will then recommend a future course of action. "To determine the future course of injury management, Mr Saha will see a specialist and the BCCI Medical Team will continue to monitor his progress," a BCCI media statement read.

Saha is the only recognised wicketkeeper in India's squad for the five-day affair in Bengaluru starting June 14. If the Bengal keeper fails to recover in time for the game, Dinesh Karthik or Parthiv Patel might get a call up.

Saha, 33, had a poor IPL managing just 122 runs in 10 innings at an average of 15.25. Behind the stumps also, the otherwise highly-rated keeper looked shaky at times, dropping a few catches during the course of the cash-rich T20 tournament
