I didn’t reveal journalist’s name as don’t intent to harm someone’s career: Wriddhiman Saha

Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha has said that he didn’t reveal the name of the journalist who threatened him for not giving an interview because his intention was not to harm anyone’s career.

Saha spoke to Indian Express in which he said that. Though there were new reports the BCCI would speak to him on this issue, Saha clarified that he hasn’t received any communication from the BCCI on this issue yet.

"I haven't 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 somebody's career, to pull a person down. That's why I didn't reveal the name in my tweet. That's not the teaching of my parents. The main purpose of my tweet was to expose the fact that there's someone in the media who does such things, disrespecting a player's wish," Saha said in an interview with the Indian Express Newspaper.

He added, "It wasn't fair, which I wanted to tell through my tweets. He who has done it knows it very well. I posted those tweets because I didn't 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."

Saha received a huge support from all quarters after he shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation between him and a journalist in which the latter threatened him for not giving an interview.
