2. Sanju Samson
The most notable exclusion from the Asia Cup 2022 squad was the keeper-batter Sanju Samson. He earned a selection in the Ireland series on the back of terrific performances in IPL 2022, wherein he slammed 458 runs in 17 innings.
Samson scored a terrific 77 off 42 balls on his return to international cricket against Ireland. Afterwards, Samson scored 72 runs in three innings of the ODI series against West Indies, while remaining unbeaten in one of them. In the T20I series, the 28-year-old garnered 45 runs at an average of 45 in the T20I leg of the Caribbean Tour.
Making his debut in 2015, he has featured in only four ODIs and 16 T20Is, despite his impressive performances in the IPL. Furthermore, his strong wicket-keeping skills were on the show in his recent appearances as well. The non-selection into the Asia Cup squad certainly is a shocking one for the cricket fraternity.
