Kolkata/IBNS: Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha, who returned to Bengal after two seasons with Tripura, on Monday expressed his plans to play in all three formats for the state in the forthcoming season.
During a press conference at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) headquarters in Kolkata's Eden Gardens, Wriddhiman Saha said, "I am happy and excited to be back in Bengal. I am looking forward to playing and giving my best for the state."
"As of now, my plan is to play in all three formats for Bengal, and it will depend on how things go ahead in the season," Saha said.
The right-handed batter was accompanied by the CAB president Snehasish Ganguly and secretary Naresh Ojha.
Speaking about Wriddhiman's return to Bengal, Snehasish Ganguly said, "It is matter to great joy to welcome Wriddhiman back in Bengal. He has served us a lot in the past."
"I hope his return will strengthen the team, and Bengal will aim for a better performance in the upcoming season. I wish Wriddhiman the very best for the forthcoming season," Ganguly added.
Wriddhiman Saha told reporters, "Bengal now has a blend of both youth and experience. I hope this combination will help in building a strong team."

When asked about his retirement plan, the right-handed batter said, "Age is just a number for me. As long as I am motivated to play this game, I will continue playing. I have no plans of retirement as of now. As and when I think of quitting the game, I will retire from all formats of the game."
Talking about his role alongside young and promising wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel, who has already established himself in the team, Wriddhiman Saha said, "I will do anything possible for the betterment of the team."
"I will always be a team man, and I am ready to do what is best for the team and also, help prolong the cricketing career of a talented player like Abishek," Saha added.
