Asia Cup 2023 / This player may be out of Asia Cup 2023 - Deeper crisis!

Asia Cup 2023: Fitness test of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer is going on. It will soon be clear whether these two players have become fully fit to play in Team India or will it take time. Less than 15 days are left for the Asia Cup and it is reported that as soon as the fitness update of both of them comes, immediately after that Team India will be announced for this tournament. It is believed that the Indian team will come out on the 20th. But till now no update has come from BCCI regarding this. Meanwhile, speculations are rife about what will be the squad of Team India in the Asia Cup. Barring a few players, the rest of the places look solid. But the biggest question is what the selectors decide about Sanju Samson.

It is difficult for Sanju Samson to join Team India for Asia Cup

Sanju Samson was recently playing the series against the West Indies. He got a lot of opportunities in ODIs and T20 matches, but in the same match he scored a half-century with the bat, in the rest he could not manage to score runs. Meanwhile, the fans of Sanju Samson may be disappointed with the news that is coming out now. It has been learned from the Times of India that Sanju might not be able to replace Samson in the team going to the Asia Cup. However, these are all speculations and will be known for sure only when the selectors announce the team. This time the Asia Cup will be played on the One Day format, as the One Day World Cup is to be held immediately after it from October. If we talk about Sanju Samson's one-day matches against the West Indies, he had scored a half-century, which came at a very fast pace, but after that his bat again fell silent.

BCCI will take a decision on KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer soon

If KL Rahul gets fit and gets selected in the Asia Cup squad, then it will be tough to make room for Sanju Samson. On the other hand, if Rahul is not selected in this team, then the responsibility of keeping can be in the hands of Ishaan Kishan. Ishan Kishan scored 50 plus runs in every match of the three-match series against the West Indies and has now emerged as the biggest contender to play as a wicket-keeper batsman. Right now Sanju Samson is on Ireland tour and there is every possibility that Jasprit Bumrah will give him a chance to play under his captaincy. If Sanju's bat runs aggressively in any of these two matches, then his name can be considered, otherwise it may be difficult for Sanju Samson to remain in the team in the coming days.
