The upcoming Ireland tour holds crucial significance for wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson. It might mark his final opportunity to validate his role in T20I cricket. Despite his T20I debut in 2015, his international appearances have remained brief, with a modest average of 18.50 from 18 matches over eight years.
The recently concluded T20I series against the West Indies showcased Samson’s struggles, as he managed just 32 runs across five matches. With the inclusion of Jitesh Sharma, a proficient middle-order wicketkeeper-batsman who has thrived in recent IPL seasons, Samson faces intensified competition. Sharma’s prowess against diverse bowling styles presents an alternative that could supersede Samson’s position.
