Cricket News Desk. An explosive batsman of the Indian cricket team will be out of cricket for more than a month due to fracture in the finger. This batsman specializes in hitting sixes with the first ball. The batsman hit a six on the very first ball of the last match of the T20 series against England. now you understand. Actually, star wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson has fractured in the index finger, due to which he will be out of cricket for more than a month. Because of this, he will not be able to play in the upcoming Ranji Trophy quarter -finals.

Injured at Wankhede Stadium

Fast bowler Joffra Archer's ball hit Sanju Samson's finger during the fifth T20 International match against England in Mumbai. Archer's third ball, which was thrown at a speed of about 150 km/h, hit Samson's finger. Samson then hit a six and a four, but the swelling increased after returning to the dugout. Fracture was detected in the scan. It is learned that Samson has returned to Thiruvananthapuram and will start training only after completing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He will have to get approval from NCA before returning to competitive matches.

Return hard before IPL

A source of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), familiar to the case, told PTI on the condition of anonymity, “Samson's right finger has fractured.” It will take them five to six weeks to start practice on the net. Therefore, there is no possibility of playing in the Ranji Trophy quarterfinals against Jammu and Kashmir from Kerala in Pune from 8 to 12 February. He added, “There is a possibility that he will return to the IPL for Rajasthan Royals.”

The England series did not bat.

Samson's performance in the T20 series against England was disappointing. He is not part of the ODI team. After scoring three centuries in seven matches against Bangladesh and South Africa, the Samson Champions Trophy, which was included in the T20 team, missed the selection as he did not play a single match in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The series against England was disappointing for the captain of Rajasthan Royals, who could only score 51 runs in five matches. He was constantly disturbed by Archer, Mark Wood and Saqib Mahmood's short balls and most of the powerplay was dismissed in the first six overs.

After the Champions Trophy, India does not have to play a limited overs series by the end of July, so 30 -year -old Samson will have to wait until the series in Bangladesh in August for his next occasion.
