Wriddhiman Saha, who had earlier revealed that a "journalist" had threatened him for not giving an interview, has now said that he would not reveal the name of the culprit as he didn't make the revelation to harm the journalist's career or pull him down. (More Cricket News)
Saha on February 19 had shared a screenshot in which a "journalist", apparently angered by Saha for not giving an interview to him post his ouster from India's Test squad, had threatened the player.
The Indian wicketkeeper-batsman tweeted the screenshot on social media, saying: "After all of my contributions to Indian cricket..this is what I face from a so called 'Respected' journalist! This is where the journalism has gone."
While many former cricketers, including the likes of Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and ravi Shastri, had come out in support of Saha, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal had said that the board would enquire Saha regarding the incident.
Though BCCI has not approached Saha until now, the West Bengal-born said he won바카라t reveal the name and that he shared the post on social media just to make sure no other player goes through the same problem.
바카라I haven바카라t received any communication from the BCCI yet. If they ask me to reveal the name (of the journalist), I would tell them it was never my intention to harm somebody바카라s career, to pull a person down. That바카라s why I didn바카라t reveal the name in my tweet. That바카라s not the teaching of my parents. The main purpose of my tweet was to expose the fact that there바카라s someone in the media who does such things, disrespecting a player바카라s wish,바카라 Saha told The Indian Express.
바카라It wasn바카라t fair, which I wanted to tell through my tweets. He who has done it knows it very well. I posted those tweets because I didn바카라t want the players to face such things. I wanted to convey the message that what has been done was wrong and no one else should do it again,바카라 he added.
