Explosive wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has been excluded from the Indian squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy. As per sources, Samson’s absence from Kerala’s Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign reportedly played a big role in his omission from the Indian team for the mega event.
As per reports, Samson wasn’t part of Kerala’s camp. As a result, the development led to him not being picked for the Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign by the state team.
While Samson claimed to have made his unavailability clear beforehand, KCA chief Jayesh Jeorge was not impressed by receiving only a one-line text from Samson.
Following the development, Sanju’s father Samson Viswanath has made some serious allegations against Kerala Cricket Association (KCA).
Viswanath even went to the extent of saying that they were not feeling safe in Kerala.

“We have never done anything to provoke Kerala Cricket Association. We have not hurt anybody with our statements. But we have been facing trouble since the last 10 to 12 years. I don’t know the reason. Sanju’s elder brother Saly Samson was great performer for Kerala too. He was picked for the one-day camp. But he did not get much chance,” said Viswanath.
“I knew about six months ago that they are planning something against Sanju. KCA were plotting things in a way that he leaves Kerala. We can’t fight with them. There are directors there, we are small people. You can’t talk back to them, you can’t challenge them. My child is not safe here. They will put the blame on Sanju for everything and people will believe them too. So, I really want that my son stops playing cricket for Kerala. I am afraid that they will come up with conspiracy theories against my son,” he added.
