    "editor1": "<p><strong>Kolkata, July 19 (CRICKETNMORE): <\/strong>&nbsp;Already out of the Indian squad for the first three tests against England due to a left thumb injury, wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha is now nursing a shoulder problem which he picked up while rehabilitating at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It has been learnt from sources close to Saha that the 33-year old stumper picked up the knock during a gym session at the NCA.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saha missed out on the one-off Test against Afghanistan due to the thumb injury and hoped to recover in time for the five-match England test series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But alongwith Dinesh Karthik, who is expected to be the first choice keeper now, Rishabh Pant was included as the second wicketkeeper as Saha could not be ready in time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saha, who last played the first Test against South Africa in Cape Town, could also be needing a surgery for his shoulder injury which a source close to him said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saha picked up the thumb injury during the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he turned out for Sunrisers Hyderabad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, his shoulder injury was first picked up in South Africa while taking a catch during the first Test.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It became serious after he hurt the same part during a gym session at the NCA under a senior physio. It has now aggravated and could be serious,&quot; an insider said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saha has played 32 Tests for India scoring 1164 runs averaging 30.63. He has taken 75 catches and effected 10 stumpings, earning a name for himself as one of the finest wicketkeepers in the game.<\/p>\r\n",
