Bengal wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha confirmed to Zee Media that the BCCI had contacted him through e-mail and over the phone to investigate the matter.
Bengal and Gujarat Titans wicketkeeper batter Wriddhiman Saha may have refrained from revealing the name of journalist who threatened him for refusing an interview, but said that he yet to receive any ‘apology’ from the scribe. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have also reached out to Saha in order to take action against this ‘journalist’ but Saha reiterated that he will not ‘name the person’.
“I am hurt with the message of the journalist. Neither have I ever behaved badly with any journalist nor have they misbehaved with me. But this was uncalled for. I wanted to expose him so that people know that the world of journalism has such people,” Saha said in an exclusive interview to Zee Media on Wednesday (February 23).
“The said journalist has neither got in touch with me nor has he apologised,” he added.
1/3- I was hurt and offended. I thought not to tolerate such kind of behaviour and didn't want anyone to go through these kind of bullying. I decided I will go out and expose the chat in public eye, but not his/her name
