Bengal wicketkeeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha returned to the team's squad on Tuesday prior to the Ranji Trophy final, starting next Monday (March 9). 

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.
