Ravichandran Ashwin criticizes Sanju Samson’s recent exclusion from India’s T20I squad, raising questions about whether selection decisions are influenced by factors outside performance. Ashwin says the omission does not appear “fair” and links the decision to Samson’s short run of form, noting that he is dropped after three low scores. He also points out that Samson misses the upcoming Zimbabwe series. Instead of sidelining Samson entirely, Ashwin argues that India could make a change within the batting setup, such as reshuffling the batting order, to give him an opportunity to contribute. Ashwin further maintains that players should receive longer chances when they show consistency over time, rather than being dropped after a brief dip in results. Overall, the comments focus on fairness in team selection and whether decision-making reflects cricketing evaluation alone or additional pressure.
