Former Indian cricketer Dodda Ganesh has slammed the Indian selectors for ignoring Sanju Samson while selecting the squad for the five-match T20I series against the West Indies cricket team. After the tour of England, Team India will visit West Indies and USA to play three ODIs and five T20Is.
While Sanju Samson has been selected for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies cricket team, he did not get a place in the Indian cricket team’s squad for the five-match T20I series. Fans should note that Samson scored a match-winning fifty for the Indian cricket team in their Dublin T20I against the Ireland cricket team last month.
Here is India’s squad for the five-match T20I series:
Rohit Sharma (C), I Kishan, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, D Hooda, S Iyer, D Karthik, R Pant, H Pandya, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, R Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, B Kumar, Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh.
Reacting to the squad announcement, former Indian cricket team player Dodda Ganesh wrote on Twitter:
“Ideally, you would want to players like Sanju Samson in the T20s. Ignoring him for Shreyas Iyer is beyond cricketing rationale.”

Sanju Samson will be keen to score big in the ODI series against the West Indies cricket team
While the team selection was not in his hands, Samson has earned a place in the Indian squad for the three-match ODI series against the West Indies cricket team. He will try to make the most out of the opportunity received and score heaps of runs against the Men in Maroon.
It will be exciting to see how the Indian cricket team performs in their away series against the West Indies cricket team.
