BCCI unhappy with Samson
According to a report, top BCCI officials and selectors are not happy with Samson’s decision to stay out of the Vijay Hazare Trophy. BCCI has clearly said that the basis of selection in the Indian team is domestic cricket. In such a situation, players will have to play domestic cricket.
Samus needs to improve her attitude
BCCI sources say, ‘This matter can be discussed before selecting the team for the Champions Trophy. The selectors and the board are very clear about the importance of domestic cricket. Last year, Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer lost their central contracts for not playing domestic matches without permission. In Samson’s case, he has not yet given any reason to the board and selectors as to why he did not play in the tournament. So far it is known that he spends most of his time in Dubai. Sanju Samson has a bitter history with KCA. But to play domestic cricket they will have to find a solution. It is not possible that there was some misunderstanding between KCA and him and he missed the game time. Before Vijay Hazare Trophy, he played in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
