Sanju Samson might get dropped from the Asia Cup 2023 squad - Reports
Speaking of the squad, earlier reports have highlighted that Sanju Samson might get dropped from the squad. He was a part of the ODI and T20I squad during the recently concluded WI tour and currently, is a part of the T20I squad in Ireland. KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are still in the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bangalore as they are looking to get fit. However, as per recent reports, they have played some practice matches and Rahul is most likely to get a place in the squad while Iyer might want some more time.
While speaking to CricketNext, a source close to the developments said: “KL Rahul is fit and available for selection. He has been regularly batting and wicketkeeping and looks good fitness-wise. With regards to Shreyas Iyer, signs are extremely positive”. Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna are already in Ireland as they also played the 1st T20I. Krishna made his T20I debut while Bumrah led the team as well. Both performed decently and they are also most likely to get a place in the upcoming Asia Cup squad. Asia Cup will begin on 30 August but India will begin their campaign against Pakistan on 2 September in Sri Lanka.
