Sanju Samson got a place in the Asia Cup group, but will not be part of playing XI, who will open?
Cricket News Desk. Team India team was announced for the Asia Cup 2025. The most popular decision includes Shubman Gill’s return and makes him directly the Vice captain of the T20 team. Veteran Indian down -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin gave a big explanation on this. He believes that the move will have a direct impact on the place of Sanju Samson and that he will not be part of playing Eleven in the Asia Cup. Gill will be future captain? Ashwin clearly stated that the decision to make Gill a vice captain is not only taken in mind for the current tournament, but also keeps in mind the future captaincy. He said: ‘Maybe the selectors consider Shubman Gill as the captain of the future. He can be seen as a player who can cut the format. However, it is not necessary to hold only one captain in each format. Ashwin, the impact on Sanju Samson, said this decision directly affects wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. According to him, the saddest that once Gill became the vice captain, Samson was in danger. It simply means that Sanju Samson will not play. Shubman Gill will definitely play and open. Form to future plans This statement is also important because Samson has been in a spectacular form in recent months. He scored three centuries in T20 international matches last year. However, by making Gill the Vice captain, the selectors indicated that their priority is a long-term plan, even if a player has to sit outside. From the opinion of Ashwin, it is clear that India’s strategy in the Asia Cup 2025 is not just based on the current form. The team management also monitors future captaincy and team structure. Meanwhile, if a protesting player like Sanju Samson had to take out, the debate will certainly begin whether the form should be given priority or future preparation. Share this story -tags
