The ever so graceful Sanju Samson made a return to the Indian team after a gap of five years during the T20I series against Bangladesh. But he didn't get an opportunity to feature in any of the games.

What is even more baffling is that the Kerala batsman has not been named in India's T20I squad for the series against West Indies.

It is quite harsh on Samson to be ousted from the squad without getting a fair chance in any of the games. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who has been plundering runs for fun in the domestic circuit, deserved another chance in the T20I squad. He would consider himself extremely unlucky at being ignored by the selectors.

India could have easily considered him as a back-up wicket-keeping option to Rishabh Pant, who himself has been short of runs in T20s. Samson's inclusion could have kept Pant on his toes, and possibly improved his productivity too.
