Former player of team India, Irfan Pathan, makes an explosive statement about Sanju Samson
The selection committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India has once again snubbed wicketkeeper and batsman Sanju Samson for the ODI series against Australia.
While reacting to the squad announcement of Team India for the three-match series, former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan issued an interesting statement about power-hitter Samson.
Irfan tweeted, "If I’m in place of @IamSanjuSamson right now, I will be very disappointed."
Notably, two separate squads have been picked for the Australian series. In both of the squads, Samson’s name went missing as youngsters Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prasidh Krishna, and Washington Sundar were recalled for the first two One Day Internationals against Australia. Samson, who had a series of forgetful outings against the West Indies in the Caribbean, was earlier named as a backup batter in India’s Asia Cup squad.
However, he was snubbed from India’s squad for the ICC World Cup as the AjitAgarkar-led selection committee handpicked KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan as the two wicketkeeper options for the Men in Blue at the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023.
