El cricket nacional está fuera de la vista de Sanju Samson, ya que la estrella de Kerala estará ocupada con las series IND y ENG T20I.

Sanju Samson ha sido seleccionado en el equipo T20I del equipo de críquet de India contra Inglaterra

Things continue to go bad for Sanju Samson. The star keeper and batter was snubbed for the India squad for the ICC Champions Trophy. The reason? He failed to attend the Vijay Hazare camp for Kerala. And now he is set to miss the next round of Ranji Trophy matches as he has been selected in the IND vs ENG T20I series.

The India Cricket Team will take on the Three Lions in the first T20I game on 22nd January, which means Samson won’t be able to play the Ranji Trophy game the next day against Madhya Pradesh. Even so, Samson will be missing the next round of matches starting on the 30th as he will continue to be a part of the T20I setup.

Sanju Samson busy in India camp

Unless Sanju Samson gets released from the India squad, he won’t be able to play domestic cricket. Kerala plays against Bihar on 30th January. On the other hand, Samson might make it in time for the knockouts later on. But things also look bleak. Samson recently had a massive fallout with the KSCA.

He was not selected for the Vijay Hazare Trophy squad after he failed to attend the pre-tournament camp. Furthermore, this event has also played a crucial role in Samson failing to find his place in the ODI squad against England and the mega important ICC Champions Trophy.

“I am not sure if Samson missing the tournament was the reason he was excluded. The reason he was not added in the Vijay Hazare squad was because he sent a one-line text saying he would not be available for the 30-member preparatory camp. We were all of the impression that he would be leading the team since he is our white-ball captain and had led in the SMAT season as well,” Jayesh George, KSCA President, told MediaOne.

“So we went ahead and announced the squad and later he sent a message stating he is available for selection. Be it Sanju Samson or any other player, KCA has a policy in place that needs to be respected. We all know that Sanju does not need a camp to come into the squad, but is the Kerala team one that he can come and represent only when he feels like? How did Samson reach the Indian team, it was only through the KCA. That doesn’t mean you turn up only when you feel like for the Kerala team,” he said.
