Samson struggled to leave a mark in the recently concluded T20I series against Sri Lanka. In the two matches he featured in, Samson failed to open his account, recording back-to-back ducks.
He was not part of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka.
Despite being a part of India’s triumphant T20 World Cup 2024 squad, Samson did not get an opportunity to showcase his skills on the field.
The team management preferred Rishabh Pant as their primary wicketkeeper-batter throughout the tournament, leaving Samson to warm the bench.
Samson recently shared his thoughts on being left out of the Indian ODI squad.
“I will just go and play whenever they select me. That’s it! At the end of the day, our team is doing well. I am the kind of person who believes in higher purpose. I just try to take things positively under controllable circumstances and put up the efforts,” Samson said at the launch of Kerala Cricket League.
