Kolkata: One of India's greatest wicketkeeper, Syed Kirmani, feels that Bengal veteran Wriddhiman Saha deserves to play the second Test against the West Indies starting Friday instead of Rishabh Pant, who still has a "lot to learn". Pant's short career has been inconsistent at best especially his indiscreet shot selection during World Cup and the ongoing West Indies tour that has left everyone disappointed.

Kirmani, who played 88 Tests for India, feels that Saha was injured and he deserves equal opportunity just like the burly Delhi 'keeper. "Yeh abhi jhule main hai [He is still in his infancy]. He is God gifted but needs to learn a lot," Kirmani said. "It's the most difficult position on the field. Not everyone can do 'keeping by just wearing a pair of gloves," said the member of the 1983 World Cup winning side.
