Ashwin criticises selectors for dropping Sanju Samson from Zimbabwe T20I squad

Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has publicly condemned the selection decision to exclude Sanju Samson from India's T20I squad for the Zimbabwe series. Ashwin argued that dropping Samson based on a handful of poor scores was illogical and unjust. He expressed concern that frequent and inconsistent team changes undermine player confidence and destabilise India's T20 setup. Ashwin also warned that such an environment could push players toward prioritising personal safety over match-winning performances. The exclusion has triggered widespread debate among fans and commentators in Indian cricket circles.
