“He (Suryavanshi) is fully prepared to play international cricket, no doubt about that, but at the same time, Sanju Samson is the player who contributed a lot to us winning the World Cup three months ago. He has also had a very good IPL, and it is important to give confidence and message to the players, we want to give the players a long chance in the team.,” Ten Doeschate said in the post-match press conference.
