Ind vs Aus: Samson still has a smile despite his non-selection.

Mumbai: The Indian squad for the three-match ODI series versus Australia was announced on Monday. While most of the squad was on predicted lines, a few exclusions made headlines. The non-selection of Sanju Samson is one of them and that has created noise. Fans feel injustice has been done to Samson, who is now not even part of the Asian Games squad. The cricketer, who is in Dubai currently, took to social media and posted. The ever-smiling Samson took to Facebook and put a smiley emoji after the BCCI announced the squad for the ODIs versus Australia. Here is the post that is now going viral:

Samson was a part of the Indian squad in the West Indies tour and then the short tour of Ireland as well.

Notably, Ashwin is making a comeback to the Indian ODI side after 20 months. He last played for India in an ODI against South Africa, in January 2022. “It’s all in the head for players like him,” said Rohit when asked if Ashwin’s lack of game time in ODIs will be a concern.
