The selectors today named Wriddhiman Saha and Manoj Tiwary in Bengal's 17-member squad for its Ranji Trophy quarterfinal against Railways beginning January 8.
Tiwary, who is yet to play a match this season after a knee surgery, will have to pass a fitness test in NCA Bangalore on January 6, as Bengal named the stylish batsman as the 17th member.
"He (Tiwary) came and met us this morning. He's very keen to play the match so we have kept our options open," CAB joint secretary Sujan Mukherjee said.
