Sanju Samson's Father Goes To War With Kerala Association After Champions Trophy Setback
The absence of wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson from India's ICC Champions Trophy team remains one of the most baffling decisions that the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee took. Despite possessing exceptional numbers in the 50-over format, Samson lost the race to Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, the two wicket-keepers preferred for the tournament. Samson's absence from Kerala's Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign reportedly played a big role in his omission from the Champions Trophy. Now, his father has gone to war with the Kerala state association, suggesting their officials 'have something against' his son.
