Sanju Samson: Unjust Exclusion from Indian Cricket Squads and the Battle for Recognition

2023-09-21 05:29:30

ASanju Samson, who saw Suryakumar Yadav with an average of 55 per day and an average of only 24 above him, first made it to the Asia Cup team and then to the World Cup team, now it is a situation to watch Rituraj Gaekwad, who averaged only 13 in the ODI series once morest Aussies (played only two games), get into the Indian team over him.

The question is who decided that Sanju is not eligible to be included in the Asian Games squad at least? There is no doubt that there were well-planned exceptions. While Sanju was left out of the Asian Games squad announced in July, he and his fans are given a vague hope that he is included in India’s Asia Cup and World Cup plans. But he is not given a place in the Asia Cup team and is being taken as a traveling reserve. It is clear that he will not play because of the injured K. Even L Rahul has been included in the team.

And then when the World Cup team is announced, it is excluded from it. The selectors made accurate calculations. But if Sanju played the Asian Games and performed well there, the question why he was not selected for the Asia Cup and the World Cup would increase. It is clear that Sanju was not considered for the series once morest Aussies for the same reason. There have been such games before. Sanju is given a chance in the ODI team as the T20 World Cup approaches, and straight into the T20 team without an outstanding season in the IPL as the ODI World Cup approaches.

At first glance, what is done to Sanju is an injustice – writes Sandeep Das

Their understanding is that no one understands. Against the Aussies, Asian Games team captain Ruthuraj takes a place, along with Thilak Verma. That is, when two inexperienced players who are not part of the World Cup squad are taking place in this series, there is no doubt that Sanju, who is more experienced than them in this format, is being replaced outside of the correct agendas.

There is no doubt that he has never seen an Indian batsman beat Suryakumar in T20s before or since. But Suriya is a failure in the ODI format. Suriya has not been able to secure his place in ODIs or be a challenge to those in the team despite being given many opportunities, but the question is where would he have reached if a player like Sanju Samson had got at least half of the opportunities that Surya and Rishabh Pant got.

Sanju Samson finally broke his silence; Response from the Indian team on the loss

There are no clear answers. No one thinks that Sanju will play the World Cup just because he got a place in the World Cup squad. But he deserves to be there. The problem is that Sanju, with an average of 55 and a strike rate of 104, deserves to be part of at least one of the ODI teams that have played in the World Cup, Asian Games, Asia Cup and the Aussie series.

No lobby has the right to decide otherwise. It is true that only those who have been neglected can understand the pain of the neglected. It is with pain that Sanju decides to move on, accepting that it is what it is, following facing the worst and cruelest injustice that can be done to a player’s career in his peak time. Because this is Indian cricket, there is no other way. No matter what we do, Sanju is with Samson, Sanju will be seen right here fighting the opponents on the field and the games of the bosses off the field.
