Debate Over Sanju Samson’s Exclusion From India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Squad

As of January 25, 2025, no official announcement has been made regarding Sanju Samson’s inclusion in India’s squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The wicketkeeper-batter was omitted from the initial selection, with Rishabh Pant getting the nod instead.

This decision has ignited intense discussions among cricket experts and fans. Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has publicly backed Samson, citing his consistent and impressive form in white-ball cricket as a strong case for his inclusion.

On the other hand, former players Zaheer Khan and Dinesh Karthik have defended Pant’s selection, emphasizing his game-changing potential and unique ‘X-factor’ as crucial for India in high-pressure tournaments.

While debates continue, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to confirm any changes to the squad. Cricket enthusiasts across the nation eagerly await updates, with Samson’s supporters hoping for a reconsideration of his role in the team.
