From Wriddhiman Saha To Ishant Sharma: Here Are The Indian Players Blacklisted By BCCI Whose International Career Seems Finished. The transition phase in the Indian Cricket Team has just begun.

The recent loss in the ICC events has put the team as well as management under immense pressure and forced BCCI to make transitions as well. This means that this might be curtains for some senior players and we could see some youngsters entering the scene as well.

One of the players whose career looks finished and has been blacklisted by the BCCI is none other than Wriddhiman Saha. He was the first-choice Indian keeper in the Test team but the emergence of young players like Rishabh Pant and KS Bharat made things gloomy for him. He kept travelling with the team but with Pant going great guns he failed to make the cut into the playing XI.

Ahead of the series against Sri Lanka in 2022, he was dropped from the team and he spoke openly that team management categorically told him that they want to give a chance to youngsters and he isn’t in the future plans.

Saha played 40 Tests for Indis and scored 1353 runs for the team at an average of 29.41 to go with 3 centuries and 6 half-centuries. It’s fair to say that for all the youngsters in the team, there’s no chance that will make a comeback in the team.

Dinesh Karthik is also among the players whose career seems finished. The keeper-batter was not in the scheme of things for the Indian cricket team but his exceptional performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, where he played some magnificent knocks and won the games for his side, earned him a spot back in the Indian team.

On his comeback too, he played many famous knocks for Indian Cricket Team and won the games and it was expected that he would set the stage on fire in the T20 World Cup.

But he had a horrendous campaign in Australia and following the World Cup he was dropped from the team. With him ageing as well his comeback in the team looks uncertain now and there’s no chance that he would make a comeback in the team.

Ishant Sharma also features in the list of the players who are Blacklisted by the BCCI and their career looks almost finished now. He has been one of the finest pacers for Indian team and bowled many famous spells for the team that won quite a few matches from impossible positions.

The lanky fast bowler who last played for India in 2021 against New Zealand was sidelined from the team and in his place Mohammed Siraj grabbed the chances with both hands. With him going great guns in the longest format of the game, his chances to make a comeback are second to none as he was recently terminated from the BCCI’s annual contract as well.
