In a major development, senior wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha has opted out of Bengal's Ranji Trophy campaign after being categorically told that he will not be picked for India's two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting in Mohali on March 4.

It is understood that the new team management has conveyed to the national selectors that 37-year-old Saha, considered as one of world's premier glovesmen, isn't one for the future.
