Samson was left out of India's 15-member squad for the three-match T20I series in Harare, which begins on Thursday, July 23. He was dropped from the playing XI for the second T20I against England in Manchester, where Vaibhav Sooryavanshi replaced him following Samson's run of just six runs in three innings.
"Everyone knows that this isn't right. When I first saw the squad, I thought it was a fan-created team because Sanju's name was not there. When I finally realized it was true, I thought to myself, 'How much will you play around with one person?' It doesn't feel right and it won't sit right with anyone."
If You Can't Feel Secure After Winning a World Cup, Then When?" - Robin Uthappa on Sanju Samson
Sanju Samson was dropped for the Zimbabwe T20I series and lost his place in the playing XI against England. The wicketkeeper-batter has been named in the Shreyas Iyer-led squad for the upcoming Asian Games, but his position remains uncertain.
"His (Samson) selection shouldn't even be a conversation, considering he has won you a World Cup singlehandedly. It's impossible to comprehend. When can one feel like I'll have enough to stay in the side for the next few years at this rate? If you can't get that feeling even after winning your side a World Cup, then when?"
Inconsistent Form Costs Sanju Samson a Place in Zimbabwe Squad
Despite his match-winning performances in India's 2026 T20 World Cup triumph at home, Samson's overall T20I record has been inconsistent. He has scored 1,405 runs in 65 T20Is at an average of 27.01 and a strike rate of 155.42, including three centuries and six half-centuries.
For the three-match series in Harare, the selectors picked Punjab Kings wicketkeeper-batter Prabhsimran Singh as the backup to Ishan Kishan. The decision reflects the increasing competition for India's wicketkeeper spot, with several young players pushing for opportunities.
