Champions Trophy is to be organized in 2025. This time the hosting of the Champions Trophy is in the hands of Pakistan. ICC had announced the schedule long ago. Team India’s squad was also announced on January 18. As soon as the squad of the Indian team was announced, the fans were surprised because Sanju Samson’s name was not included in it. Fans were hopeful that the selectors would definitely include Sanju Samson in the squad. Meanwhile, a former player of Team India has shared his opinion on this issue. This legend is none other than Sunil Gavaskar.
Selectors ignored
In place of Sanju Samson in Team India’s squad, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant have been included in the squad as wicketkeepers. Let us tell you that Sanju Samson played his last ODI match in the year 2023. In that match, he also scored a century against South Africa, but still Sanju was not included in the ODI squad. On this, Sunil Gavaskar came forward and expressed his disappointment because the selectors did not pay attention to Samson.
What did Gavaskar say?
Gavaskar said that there is no excuse for keeping him out. But he was pitted against Rishabh Pant, who we all know can change the game. Also, Pant is a left-handed batsman and he is probably a better wicketkeeper, although he may not be a better batsman than Samson. He said that Pant can change the game more than Samson and that is why Samson was not selected in the team. But Samson should not be disappointed as all Indian cricket fans will sympathize with him for what he has achieved.
