Sanju Samson will get a place in Team India for the World Cup, important information has come out
ODI World Cup 2023 will be hosted by India. Although the schedule of the tournament is yet to be announced, it is speculated that it could be played between October and November. All the teams have started preparations for the World Cup. Meanwhile, a big information about the Indian team has come out that the wicket keeper batsman Sanju Samson can be a part of the Indian team in the tournament.
According to media reports, Sanju Samson could be part of the 20-member Indian squad for the World Cup, meaning his inclusion in Team India in the World Cup is almost certain. Samson played his last match for India on 3 January 2023 against Sri Lanka as a T-20 international. Sanju made his international debut in 2015, but has played only 11 ODIs and 17 T20 Internationals so far.
If Sanju Samson is included in the 20-member Indian squad, he may also get a chance in the playing eleven. Currently, Rishabh Pant, the main wicketkeeper of the Indian team, is recovering from an injury after an accident. In this case, there is no official information about his playing in the World Cup. At the same time, wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who was injured in IPL 2023, is also recovering from his injury.
Keeping an eye on the injuries of both the players, Sanju Samson can be included in the playing eleven of the World Cup matches as a wicketkeeper. If neither Pant and Rahul are able to be fully fit for the tournament, it will be interesting to see who Team India picks between Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson in the World Cup. Ishan Kishan will also be an option for the team.
