‘Unfair’: Ashwin slams electorate Sanju Samson over Zimbabwe snub Cricket news

New Delhi: Former Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin Strong criticism of electorate departure Sanzhou Samson He called the decision “unfair” as the Indian T20I team will participate in the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. Ashwin also warned that frequent changes in the squad could create insecurity among players and harm India’s T20 squad.Ashwin said on his YouTube show Ash Ki Baat that he completely disagrees with the decision.“I mean, what else can I say? It’s so unfair. It’s so unfair. I don’t agree with it. But it is what it is. I mean, I don’t know. It’s hard, honestly.”Ashwin questioned the logic of dropping Samson after a few poor runs and wondered who would be next if the team continues to lose.“Sangju has been eliminated due to losses and form. He has been left out. We have lost two games. If we lose again, will others be eliminated too? Who will be next? This is wrong. I really hope the Indian team finds itself. Indian cricketers should not be put in an unsafe position.”Samson’s absence has become one of the biggest talking points in the Indian cricket world. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who was named the Player of the Year in this year’s T20 World Cup tournament, had figures of 5, 0 and 1 in the last three innings against Ireland and the first T20I against England.Samson was replaced in the starting XI by 15-year-old batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and was subsequently left out of the squad for Zimbabwe.Ashwin said such a decision would make players think more about protecting their positions rather than winning matches.“As I said earlier after the Sky incident, players will become isolated. They will start thinking only of themselves. In T20 cricket, this is disastrous.”“If batsmen start to think they will be dropped if they don’t score runs, they will start playing to protect their place in the team, which is extremely dangerous.”Ashwin added that even if Samson gets another chance, the pressure of retaining his position may affect the way he bats.“Even now I’m saying, imagine three weeks and getting another chance. He’s going to start thinking about himself. You can’t even say it’s wrong.”“If Sanju scores 45 or 48 in 25 balls and has two more overs to reach 50, you can’t say it’s wrong because he is trying to protect his place in the team. I really hope…I really hope they find a solution. “Ashwin further opined that a good domestic season should not automatically guarantee a call-up to the Indian team, while echoing the suggestion that players like Prabhusimran Singh should get a chance after performing well.“In our TNPL team, there is a player named Hunny Saini. He is a very good player and an excellent finisher. He also wants opportunities.” There is also BR Sharad of Bengaluru Dragons, who also played well. If you ask when they should get a chance, send them to Zimbabwe too. I will also send Hunny Saini. ““Look, I spent all my time with Prabhsimran Singh. He is a very good player. His performances have been outstanding. He has scored over 500 runs.”“Should he take a break? Maybe he should take a break. Maybe that is debatable. But it is not written anywhere that scoring 500 runs in a season automatically guarantees a call-up to the Indian team,” Ashwin said.
