Samson recently attracted the attention of fans and selectors by scoring a century in the Duleep Trophy match. A few days ago, Sanju Samson scored a century in 40 balls in a T20 International match and saved his sinking T20 career. He has played T20 and ODI cricket for India.

‘He is cricket for Pakistan…’ Rameez Raja on Babar Azam after being dropped from Pakistan’s Test team

Babar has not been selected for the remaining two Test matches against England. Ramiz Raja and babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter Currently a three-match Test series is being played between Pakistan and England. So after the poor performance in the first test match, the Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a big decision and decided to drop some prominent cricketers including former captain Babar Azam from the test team. After this decision of PCB, the cricket world and many Pakistani players themselves criticized the board. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Pakistani captain and well-known cricket commentator Ramiz Raja. Ramiz Raja gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while discussing with Sky Sports, Rameez Raja said – It should have been for Babar to decide whether he wanted to leave the playing eleven or not. I think it was a knee-jerk reaction, the new selectors had come in, the general consensus was that he needed rest and he was completely dropped from the team. Now we need to understand that he sells cricket for Pakistan. And the debate is going on in Pakistan right now whether this will be another failure for Babar Azam or whether he is going to make a comeback. This keeps things interesting. Right now I don’t see any player in this Pakistan team who can sell cricket, because the sponsors are also a little cautious. Pakistan is continuously losing and now there is no real superstar playing in this test match. On the other hand, currently the second test match between Pakistan and England is being played at Multan Cricket Stadium. It will be worth seeing that after losing the first match, can Pakistan make a comeback in this match after such big changes or not?
