When India’s T20 and ODI squads against Ireland and West Indies were announced, Sanju Samson was also included. Those were the tournaments that got a lot of attention in the star’s career. But Sanju could not use the opportunity as expected.
While KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer were out due to injuries, Sanju was highly likely to play in the World Cup. But once Shreyas and Rahul joined the Asia Cup team, Sanju was out. Sanju is included in the Asia Cup team as a reserve player.
Now the chance of the player getting a chance in the World Cup team is also reduced. Sanju is currently ranked 18th in the Asia Cup. At least 2 must be cleared to make the 15-man squad for the World Cup…
Opportunities are not being used
It would be foolish to think that Sanju Samson will be considered for the World Cup squad without taking advantage of his opportunities. Many talented players have taken chances and challenged Sanju.
Even Sanju’s teammate at Rajasthan Royals, Yashashvi Jaiswal, has assured him of a future place in Indian cricket. When he gets a chance in T20, the player is not able to perform consistently there and in ODIs.
Rahul’s return
With the return of KL Rahul, who is considered India’s first choice wicket keeper in the World Cup, Sanju’s chances started to dim. After Rahul, Ishan Kishan is the choice. Being a left-handed batsman, Kishan gets more consideration than Sanju.
Currently, Sanju is the third choice in front of the team management as a wicket keeper. With the return of Shreyas Iyer, the options in the middle order have also diminished. Left-handed batsmen Thilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav are more likely to be considered in the middle order than Sanju.

Lack of experience in big tournaments
So far, Sanju has mainly played for the Indian team in tournaments where two teams are participating. The star has not got a chance in any of the big tournaments. Sanju was not considered in the last two T20 World Cups even though the player was in good form in T20 cricket.
Therefore, there is a high possibility that the player will not be considered due to his lack of experience in big tournaments. It is certain that the team management will not hesitate to play Sanju in the World Cup.

Less likely to be tested
Even if he is included in the fifteen-member team, it will be difficult for Sanju to get a place in the playing eleven. No decision has been made on where Sanju will be dropped in ODIs. The player has played in many batting orders in T20 so far. Therefore, it is not possible to consider Sanju without fixing the batting position.
