Sanju Samson News / BCCI is angry with Sanju Samson, not playing domestic cricket could prove costly

Team India has not announced the squad for the England series and the Champions Trophy. Sanju Samson, who was a big contender for the wicketkeeper, did not play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The board is angry and will investigate. Action is possible for not participating in domestic cricket.

Sanju Samson News: The Indian cricket team will be selected soon for the upcoming ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy. But before both these important tournaments, bad news has come out for wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson. The BCCI is angry with his role for not participating in the domestic ODI tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy. This controversy has raised a big question on Samson's career.

Start of the controversy

According to media reports, Sanju Samson refused to participate in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and did not give any clear reason behind it. He had informed the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) that he would not be able to join the camp to prepare for the tournament. After this, the KCA excluded him from the tournament. Interestingly, during this time Samson was seen practicing in Dubai.

This situation is considered unacceptable to the BCCI. The board believes that domestic cricket is an important basis for selection for the Indian team, and it is unfair to ignore it.

BCCI's stance

The BCCI has made it clear that only those players who participate in domestic cricket will be given priority in Team India. Earlier also, disciplinary action has been taken against players like Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan for not participating in domestic cricket. Both of them not only lost their place in the team but also lost the BCCI contract.

Sanju Samson has been in a dispute with KCA for a long time, but the BCCI believes that players should participate in domestic cricket by setting aside personal issues.

Samson's options ready

The BCCI is now investigating this dispute. If Samson fails to give any concrete reason, then his chances of playing in the Champions Trophy and the series against England will be reduced. Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel are already considered strong contenders in the race for wicketkeeper.

What will be Sanju Samson's future?

After this controversy, it may be difficult for Samson to retain his place in Team India. The selectors are focusing on performance in domestic tournaments, and there are indications of strict action against players who ignore it.

This is the time for introspection for Sanju Samson. If he does not give priority to domestic cricket, then his position in international career may weaken further. Now it remains to be seen what decision BCCI takes in this matter and how Samson clears his misunderstandings.
