Sanju Samson: The Indian cricket team is currently on Australia tour for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. A domestic tournament is being played in India, where the players who were out of Team India are making waves. After Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024, now Vijay Hazare Trophy is going to start from 21st December. Kerala team has been announced for this, but Sanju Samson could not get a place in the team selected for Vijay Hazare. Actually, only those players have been included in this team, who had participated in the preparation camp before the tournament.
Sanju Samson captained Kerala in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. Kerala team had missed qualifying for the knockouts by winning 4 out of 6 matches. Sanju Samson, who scored 2 T20 centuries on the South Africa tour, could score only 135 runs including one half-century in 5 matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Salman Nizar became the captain of Kerala team
According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, Sanju Samson had given a letter to the association explaining his absence for the camp, but KCA has decided to stick to its original decision. Senior batsman Sachin Baby is also not available due to the injury he sustained during SMAT, hence batsman Salman Nizar has been made the captain of the Kerala team. On the other hand, Manish Pandey has not been included in the Karnataka team. Due to poor form he could not get a place in the team. In such a situation, it seems difficult for him to return soon.
