Sanju Samson & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Sanju Samson revealed that Team India’s leadership group has asked him to play more Ranji Trophy matches as they are looking to try him in the Test format. Samson, who made his white-ball debut for India in 2015, has not played a single Test yet. Samson scored 3819 runs in 64 first class matches at an average of 38.96, which included 11 centuries. 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. After performing well on a few occasions for the ODI and T20 team, Sanju Samson is now eyeing to play Test cricket. Before Duleep Trophy 2024, the leadership group of Team India has told him that he should play as many first class matches as possible. The leadership group includes captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir. I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket- Sanju Samson Speaking to Sportstar, Samson said, “I believe I have the skills to be successful in red ball cricket and I don’t want to limit myself to just white ball cricket. My desire is to play test cricket for India. 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.
‘Two-time world champion is now uncapped’ Harbhajan Singh asked sharp questions regarding IPL retention rule
Recently, BCCI has informed the franchises regarding IPL retention rules. MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh (Image Credit- Twitter Ever since the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the new uncapped rule of IPL on September 28, there has been a lot of discussion in the cricket world regarding this rule. According to the new IPL guidelines, any player who played his last match five years ago can register himself as an uncapped player in the tournament. Teams will be able to retain such a player for Rs 4 crore. After the introduction of this rule, the discussion intensified that BCCI wants to help Chennai Super Kings (CSK) so that they can retain former team captain MS Dhoni. It is noteworthy that Dhoni had said about playing in the upcoming season of IPL that his decision will depend on what policy the board makes regarding this. But now that he has registered himself as an uncapped player, the door is wide open for him to play in the next IPL season. On the other hand, now reacting to this, a big statement from former spin legend Harbhajan Singh has come out. Harbhajan says it is a bit strange for him, because the two-time world champion has registered himself as an uncapped player. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement Let us tell you that while talking exclusively to Crictracker, the media partner of the third season of the ongoing Legends League cricket, Harbhajan said – Dhoni is immortal and he will play as long as he wants to play. Now after the new rule he is an uncapped player. Two-time world champion, but now he is uncapped. Whatever I say about this will be controversial. Harbhajan further said- Anyway, I think this rule does not apply only to Dhoni. There are a lot of players, some who have retired and they may come back. They can register again. Harbhaj further said laughingly – I am one of the possible people to register.
After the selection of the Pakistani team for the first Test against England, Ahmed Shahzad asked sharp questions to PCB
England will soon tour Pakistan for a three-match Test series Ahmed Shehzad (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the 15-member Pakistan team for the first match of the upcoming three-match Test series against England. After the selection of this team, experienced cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has been seen criticizing the PCB fiercely. Let us tell you that for the first match against England in Multan, PCB has not selected Kamran Ghulam and Mohammad Ali in the team, who were part of the Pakistani team in the two-match home Test series against Bangladesh. However, during this time they did not get a chance to play, but when the team was selected against England, their selection was ignored. So now Shahzad has slammed the selectors and accused them of personal bias. Amidst the news of Aamir Jamal and Shaheen Afridi’s injuries, Shahzad is very surprised to see Mohammad Ali not being selected. Ahmed Shahzad gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the selection of the Pakistani team for the first Test against England, Ahmed Shahzad has posted a video on his official X account. In this video, Shahzad said- Kamran Ghulam has been ignored once again. I don’t understand, Khurram Shahzad is injured and Aamer Jamal is also not fully fit. Shaheen Shah Afridi is also not fully fit, yet you did not include Mohammad Ali, I don’t understand what options they have in this. Shahzad further said- How do you justify not selecting Kamran Ghulam and Sahibzada Farhan in the team? What sin did they commit? Is it because they bat in the same position where Babar bats? When Yousuf was the coach, he left everything to two-three players. Yousuf is now the selector and this is the team he is selecting. Give me a logic why Kamran Ghulam was left out? Pakistan team for the first test match against England Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamir Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Huraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Noman Ali, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper) and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
