Ex-India captain Kris Srikkanth criticised selectors for excluding wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson from India's ODI squad for the series against Australia. "Very unfair. Sanju should've been there, considering he hit a century in his last ODI," he said, adding, "So, every day the reason keeps changing for each individual." Sanju last played an ODI in 2023, scoring 108(114) against South Africa.
