Earlier on July 21, the BCCI confirmed his injury in a press release. Later, the 33-year-old wicketkeeper was ruled out of the 5-match Test series against England.

The BCCI stated that Saha sustained a ‘posterosuperior labral tear’ and the injury will require surgery. The labral repair surgery will be done by Dr Lennard Funk in Manchester, UK.

The entire course of treatment and consultation carried out at the NCA was performed in coordination with the India Team management and the GM of Operations.
