People from Kerala should boycott T20 that's going to happen on trivandrum in December. Bcci is clearly avoiding Kerala talents .Favoratism at its peak. Clear negligence of pure talent @BCCI #StandForSanjuSamson

Im not a fan of agitation towards the sport in case a player/players aren't selected. We have a t20 scheduled at Trivandrum. You dont select the home boy. Be ready to take the ire from the crowd.#INDvWI #SanjuSamson @BCCI

Sanju Samson dropped: Why is Sanju Samson not playing?
Sanju Samson has been in sublime form since the turn of the year. After a dismal IPL 2019 with the Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson made most of his limited opportunities for India A, including scoring a 48-ball 91 in a rain-curtailed match against South Africa A. Samson scored the fastest List-A double hundred and continued his form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, only to be overlooked by the selectors again. With Rishabh Pant's struggles fairly evident, the selectors may have a tough time explaining Sanju Samson's omission.
