India Test wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha on Thursday remained unsure of his participation in the one-off Test against Afghanistan next month. Saha missed the Indian Premier League (IPL) final for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) due to the injury he picked up while playing the Qualifier 2 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on May 25. India take on Afghanistan in its debut Test match from June 14 in Bengaluru where Saha is the only recognised stumper named in the squad. "The way I feel, to be honest, I might not be fit in time. Ultimately, the selectors will decide. It's not in my hands," Saha told reporters on the sidelines of the announcement of his coaching programme at the Kalighat Club.
"I don't know the exact situation right now, so I cannot comment on whether I would be taking part in the Afghanistan Test. The BCCI is keeping a track on my injury on a day-to-day basis. It will depend on how I recover and whether I do in time for the one-off test," he added.
Saha said an operation is not on the cards at the moment as the BCCI specialist doctor will further assess his injury in a few days and only after an x-ray, will the next course of action be decided.
