Former India Batter Aakash Chopra believes that the return of Shaubman Gill to the side had all the chances of Sanja Samson to find a place in the XI for the Asia Cup in UAE. “India seems to move towards the captain’s whole formats. With the return of Sanjon Samson, Sanjon’s fate has become more or less.

The Gill announcement as a vice-capitan again placed a question mark on the future of Samson in the T20 International. Samson was included in the team, but Gill’s return raised doubts as to whether the dough of Kerala would play XI. Speculation increased after the main voter Ajit Agarkar read the names in a specific order. Gill and Jitesh Sharma were mentioned first, while Samson and Rink Singh were named at the end. Many see it as a hint that Gill will open with Abhishek Shama, while Jitesh can take gloves and bat as a finisher. With Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel, they were expected to contain middle -order positions, Samson’s opportunities look limited. Jitesh could also be preferred over Rink Singh as a late order baking. Agarkar, however, postponed this debate and said that the final XI will be decided by a captain and coach as soon as the team reaches Dubai. “Captain-what will accept the best balance for the team. Once we get to Dubai, we will have a little more clarity. With other options now available, SHUBMAN has been in a large form in the last few months.

It seems that the player will most likely take gloves in the Asian Cup?
Suryakumar Yadav Captain added weight to Jitesh Sharma and praised his transformation as a dough in the last year. “After the last World Cup T20 we talked a lot about how to go. We said you don’t think of milestones ahead, watch your way. It was a completely different cricket. The captain also prevented the selection of Pacer Harshit Rany and emphasized his consistency. “He played really well in IPL. In Pune, he came as a shock replacement and was a man of the match in the last game he played for India. We support his skills, we know he can add,” Surya added. With the main selector and a captain offering various signals, Samson faces another nervous waiting. For now, his integration into the team is not questioned, but his place in XI looks increasingly uncertain.
