Mumbai: BCCI has not included Malayalam player Sanju Samson in the Twenty20 World Cup. When the teams for the series against South Africa were announced the other day, the Malayali star was only considered for the ODI team. Ishan Kishan and Jitesh Sharma are India’s wicketkeepers in the Twenty20 series against South Africa. In the ODI series, captain K.L. Sanju is the wicket keeper in the team led by Rahul.
Captain Rahul himself is likely to be the wicketkeeper in the three-match ODI series. In that case, Sanju will have to play the series as a batter only. The Twenty20 World Cup will be held in the US and West Indies in June next year. BCCI is trying to mold the team by playing more Twenty20 matches in the coming months with the aim of preparing for the World Cup.
With his exclusion from the Twenty20 team, it is clear that Sanju is currently not in BCCI’s World Cup plans. Before the ODI World Cup held in India, Sanju was mainly considered for the Twenty20 teams by the BCCI. But with the Twenty20 World Cup approaching, the star was only included in the team for the ODI series. Fans are also furious with BCCI’s move.
The players playing in the Twenty20 series against Australia are also in the Twenty20 team against South Africa. Suryakumar Yadav is the captain of the Twenty20 team. At the same time, Sanju has a chance to get a place in the Twenty20 World Cup team if he performs well in the IPL. Sanju Samson last played for India in the Twenty20 series against Ireland. In the second match, the star scored 40 runs off 26 balls. But the BCCI did not consider Sanju in the Asian Games, Asia Cup and ODI World Cup squads.
English Summary:
BCCI select Sanju Samson for ODI series against South Africa
