Sanju Samson’s Future in the Indian Cricket Team: From Asia Cup Exclusion to World Cup Doubts

2023-08-23 20:10:00
The third match of the T20 series between India and Ireland (India vs Ireland) was abandoned due to rain. With this, the fans lost the chance to see Sanju Samson in the Indian team once once more. Sanju, who was the number one wicket keeper of the Indian team during the tour of Ireland, also showed a brilliant batting performance in the second T20I. Because of this, the fans were expecting a good performance from the player in the third T20I as well. But the rain ruined everything.

At the same time, with the cancellation of the third T20 once morest Ireland, fans may not be able to see Sanju’s game in the Indian team any time soon. The reason for this is that Sanju, who is not in the Asia Cup squad, is unlikely to make it to the squad for the World Cup as well. If that is the case, then Sanju will play for the Indian team once more. Let’s look at the possibilities.

No Asia Cup

Sanju Samson was dropped from the Indian squad for this year’s Asia Cup by the BCCI. The team has declared the player who was not included in the main squad as a traveling standby. Due to this, the player will not play in the Asia Cup. Sanju will be in the Asia Cup team only if there is a situation where some of the players in the currently announced squad cannot play. But even if he reaches the squad, it is doubtful that the star will get a place in the playing eleven.

May not play in the World Cup

It is doubtful that Sanju, who did not get a place in the Asia Cup team, will get a place in the Indian team for the ODI World Cup. With KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer getting fully fit, Sanju’s place in the squad will be revealed. Sanju will make the World Cup squad as a replacement only if any player suffers a serious injury. The chances of that are slim.

Before the World Cup, India is playing an ODI series once morest Australia at home. This series is just before the World Cup. So India will play the World Cup team players in this series as well. There are no other reasons to say that Sanju will not be in the team.

The first match of the series is on November 23. The second match will be played on November 26 at Sanju’s home ground, Greenfield, Thiruvananthapuram. Fans may also get a chance to see Sanju play in Thiruvananthapuram for the first time.

Sanju’s international career record

Sanju Samson made his international debut in 2015 in the T20 match once morest Zimbabwe. Twenty-eight-year-old Sanju Samson has played 13 ODIs and 24 T20Is for India so far.
