Before the Duleep Trophy, the leadership group had told me that they were considering me for red-ball cricket and asked me to take it seriously and play as many Ranji Trophy matches as possible.” Samson further said about this, “This time my preparation was good. After the series against Sri Lanka, I trained with Rahul Dravid sir and Zubin Bharucha at the RR Academy and worked on my game. The century in the Duleep Trophy has given me a lot of confidence because it came against some of the best bowlers in the country.” Samson has scored centuries for India in ODI and T20 International cricket. At present, Rishabh Pant is with the team as a wicketkeeper batsman, but now Sanju Samson can also be considered in the future. He has consistently performed well in the IPL but has not been able to capitalize on his opportunities in international cricket.

If the latest media reports are to be believed, the central agency has recorded the statement of the former cricketer under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). However, earlier the ED had asked Azharuddin to appear before him on October 3, but later he sought postponement of the notice for some time. On this demand of the former cricketer, ED extended the time and on October 8, he reached the ED office with his league team wearing white kurta-pajama to get his statement recorded. So if the reports of News18 are to be believed regarding this matter, then it is being said to be related to financial irregularities during the tenure of the former cricketer in Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). In connection with the said case, Anti Corruption Bureau of Telangana has registered three FIRs for embezzlement of Rs 20 crore. Apart from this, it has also been found that former officials of HCA allotted tenders to close associates at a price higher than the market rate, without proper tender process. Some receipts of this tender are also missing. But it is worth noting here that payment was made in advance by HCA, but the tender recipient did not do any work. Apart from Mohammad Azharuddin, former HCA Vice President Shivlal Yadav, Congress MLA and former President Gaddam Vinod and former HCA Secretary Arshad Ayub have been named in this case. It will be interesting to see what kind of action the ED takes against the former cricketer now?
