There was opposition to not selecting Sanju Samson in the T20 World Cup team

Significantly, Sanju Samson could not find a place in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup starting next month in Australia. In his place, out-of-form Rishabh Pant got the entry. For the last few days, the team India management was constantly being targeted for this. Fans on social media expressed their displeasure over keeping Sanju Samson out of the team. It is believed that now after making Sanju Samson the captain of India-A, this displeasure can go away to a great extent.
