Wriddhiman Saha enters coaching arena as Bengal eyes him for U-23 role
Former India wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha is set to begin his coaching journey with the Bengal U-23 team. Meanwhile, Delhi's Ranji Trophy head coach race between Sarandeep Singh, Vijay Dahiya, and Rajiv Vinayak is heating up. read more New Delhi: Six months into retirement from competitive cricket, one of India's finest wicketkeepers Wriddhiman Saha is all set to enter the coaching arena with Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) showing interest in hiring him as the head coach of U-23 state team. Saha, 40, retired from first-class cricket in January this year at the end of Bengal's league stage campaign in the Ranji Trophy. It is understood that former Bengal skipper Laxmi Ratan Shukla will continue as the head coach of the senior team while former off-spinner Saurashis Lahiri will coach the U-19 team. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'The CAB brass will be zeroing in on all the candidates for various teams by next week. Obviously, Wriddhi has been sounded out and a final decision will be taken next week. Apart from Sourav Ganguly and Pankaj Roy, he is the biggest name from Bengal with 40 Tests,' a senior CAB source told PTI on the condition of anonymity. 'His experience of playing top level cricket for so long will only help the Gen-Next of Bengal cricket. Wriddhi already runs a chain of coaching centres and he has been a very hands on coach for juniors. He is passionate about coaching. Hopefully, he will be ready,' the source said. While there is not much precedence in Bengal cricket about players being drafted into the coaching system immediately after retirement but Saha's case is slightly different considering his stature in state cricket. The Bengal U-23 side till last season was being coached by former India opener Pranab Roy, son of legendary late Pankaj Roy. Many people in Bengal circuit believe that Saha is cut out to become a good coach. His experience with U-23 squad could prove to be handy if he joins any IPL team in future or as a specialist coach at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. It's Dahiya vs Sarandeep for Delhi men's Ranji coach job Delhi Ranji team's head coach job is expected to be a two-way battle between former India players Sarandeep Singh and Vijay Dahiya, both of whom have applied for the post. The Delhi & Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) is conducting interviews for support staffs, selectors for various age group (U-16, U-19, U-23) along with senior teams. Sarandeep is the current Delhi head coach while Dahiya has handled the state team on a couple occasions in the past. The former India stumper is an assistant coach with Lucknow Super Giants and has also coached the Uttar Pradesh Ranji team. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'There are three candidates in the running. Sarandeep, who is our current head coach and Dahiya, who has extensive coaching experience have both appeared for interviews. The third strong candidate is former Delhi keeper Rajiv Vinayak,' a senior DDCA official privy to developments said.

Purani Dilli 6 retain Rishabh Pant ahead of Delhi Premier League season 2 auctions
New Delhi: Purani Dilli 6, the semi-finalist of the 2024 edition of the Delhi Premier League (DPL), have officially announced the retention of star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for the upcoming season. Pant has been retained as a marquee player. Purani Dilli 6 had a decent campaign in DPL 2024, showcasing solid performances throughout the league stage. However, their journey was cut short in unfortunate circumstances as the semi-final clash was called off due to rain. With Pant continuing to anchor the squad, the team is expected to build a more competitive unit heading into the 2025 season. Expressing his excitement, Pant said, "The DPL serves as an excellent platform for young talent to showcase their skills and much credit is due to Rohan Jaitley and the DDCA for successfully organising this league. Many players from across the country have emerged and developed through the opportunities provided by the DPL, such as Digvesh Rathi and Priyansh Arya, among others.' 'Purani Dilli 6 truly feels like home, fueled by the vibrant energy of the Delhi fans and an unparalleled hunger to win. Following a promising season last year, our determination to succeed has only intensified, and we are optimistic about returning even stronger this year,' Pant added. Speaking about the Pant, Purani Dilli 6 owner Akash Nangia said, "Rishabh Pant is not just a world-class cricketer but also the heartbeat of Purani Dilli 6. His leadership, experience, and flair give us the edge. We're building a strong squad around him, and we're confident of going all the way this year." Meanwhile, the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) has officially announced the addition of two new men's franchises to the Delhi Premier League. The Outer Delhi and New Delhi franchises will debut in the 2025 season, expanding the league from six to eight teams. The player auctions for the upcoming season are scheduled to take place in the national capital on July 6 (Men) and July 7 (Women) as the DPL continues its strong commitment to gender-inclusive cricket. Season 2 of DPL will once again be held at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. Match dates and full fixtures will be released after the completion of the player auctions.
