Wriddhiman Saha's return provides a major boost to Bengal's chances.
He might replace struggling opener Abhishek Raman in the line-up for the summit-clash where Bengal awaits its opponent from the winner of Gujarat-Saurashtra semi-final, having defeated Karnataka in the other.

Saha has recovered from surgery on his right ring finger injury that he picked while playing the historic D/N Test against Bangladesh last November.
However, the 35-year-old didn't find a spot in the playing XI in India's disastrous 2-0 series whitewash in New Zealand.
Saha last turned up for Bengal in the 2017-18 Ranji season when he played four matches and had an average of 38.33 with the bat.
Further, the selectors named uncapped batsman Sudip Gharami in the 16-member squad for Bengal's biggest game in more than a decade. Gharami and Saha replaced injured Koushik Ghosh and youngster Golam Mustafa.
Bengal defeated Karnataka by 174 runs with centurion Anustup Majumdar and pacer Ishan Porel playing stand-out roles in the victory.
The team entered the Ranji final after 13 years and will now be eyeing its first title since the 1989-90 season.
