India wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha has got support from the cricket fraternity after he posted a screenshot of a chat where a journalist had misbehaved with him for not giving an interview.
"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," Saha had tweeted without revealing the name of the journalist.
Now former players including Virender Sehwag, RP Singh, Harbhajan Singh and former head coach Ravi Shastri have come in Saha's support.
"Wridhi you just name the person so that the cricket community knows who operates like this. Else even the good ones will be put under suspicion.. What kind of journalism is this ? @BCCI @Wriddhipops @JayShah @SGanguly99 @ThakurArunS players should be protected," Harbhajan tweeted.
"Shocking a player being threatened by a journo. Blatant position abuse. Something that's happening too frequently with #TeamIndia. Time for the BCCI PREZ to dive in. Find out who the person is in the interest of every cricketer. This is serious coming from ultimate team man WS," Shastri wrote in a tweet.
Saha was earlier dropped from the squad for the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka.
