The Indian selectors met in Kolkata on 21 November, in which Team India was announced for the T20 and ODI series against West Indies. Wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson, who was selected in the team against Bangladesh, was dropped from the team without giving a chance. However, it is now reported that Sanju Samson has again got a place in the Indian team and he can play in the T20 series against West Indies.
According to media reports, Indian team opener Shikhar Dhawan may be out of the T20 International series due to injury. At the same time, Sanju Samson can be included in the team for the T20 series against West Indies in place of Dhawan. According to Sources, Shikhar Dhawan suffered an injury while playing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Delhi, which will take time to recover. In such a situation, Sanju Samson can join the Indian team again in his place. However, it has not yet been officially confirmed by the BCCI.
Reports said that left-handed batsman Shikhar Dhawan suffered a left knee injury while playing the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match of the Super League in Surat against Maharashtra. This incident happened when he made a full stretch dive to avoid run out during batting. During this time, a piece of wood from his pad entered his knee. He has also got stitches due to this injury.
The surprising thing is that during this match, chief selector MSK Prasad and Physio Ashish Kaushik of National Cricket Academy were also present. They feel that Shikhar Dhawan will not recover before the upcoming T20 International series. In such a situation, Sanju Samson can be included in the team.
