BCCI again ignored Sanju Samson, not even deeming him fit for the domestic series.

New Delhi. BCCI has announced Team India for the home T20 series against Australia. 33 year old Suryakumar Yadav has been made captain. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who recently won a gold medal for the team in the Asian Games under his captaincy, will be seen serving as the vice-captain in the first 3 matches of the T20 series against Australia. Shreyas Iyer will play as vice captain in the last 2 matches of the series. Wicketkeeper Sanju Samson has been ignored by the BCCI again. With the upcoming T20 World Cup to be held in 2024, it was expected that the selectors would give Sanju a chance against Australia but it did not happen.

The Indian selectors have left out Sanju and named Jitesh Sharma and Ishan Kishan as wicketkeepers in the squad. Jitesh got a place in Team India for the first time after Sanju Samson was injured. After this, after Sanju’s drop, he was included in the team. Sanju will now be seen playing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy where he will be seen captaining the Kerala team. Earlier, Sanju Samson was also kept out of the Asia Cup, Asian Games and ODI World Cup. The 5 match series between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) will start from November 23. Everyone is surprised that Sanju Samson’s name is not in the team. Ignoring Sanju and giving Jitesh a chance is a sign that BCCI is now thinking beyond Sanju, who captained Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.

The World Cup is over…now when, where and against whom Team India will play the next series, know everything
