, 7 news, a view

On the eve of India’s Asia Cup 2025 opener in Dubai, Sanju Samson once again found himself at the center of selection debates.

Despite three T20I centuries in his last 10 outings, the wicketkeeper-batter is reportedly on the verge of being sidelined, with Jitesh Sharma tipped to feature instead.

At the captains’ press conference, India’s skipper Suryakumar Yadav was asked directly about Samson’s role. Smiling, Surya replied, “Sir, I will message you the playing XI. We are taking good care of him. Don’t worry, we’ll make the right decision tomorrow.” The response, though light-hearted, offered little clarity.
