The BCCI on Thursday (June 30) announced the India team squads for the three-match T20I and ODI series against England, starting on July 7. Two different Indian squads were announced for the T20I series, where Sanju Samson got a place only for the first T20I against England.

The talented batter was ignored for the second and third T20Is, as Indian stars such as Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant returned, with the duo being rested for the first T20I as they are participating in the ongoing rescheduled fifth and final Test against England in Birmingham.

Samson also didn't find a place in India’s ODI squad, and it left Indian cricket fans disappointed. They are now slamming the BCCI and national selectors for their double standards.

Notably, Samson has been ignored despite continuously making runs in domestic cricket. He was recently given a chance on the Ireland tour, and the wicketkeeper smashed a fifty in Dublin.

After the squads were announced for the limited-overs series in England, fans are slamming the national selectors and BCCI for doing injustice to Samson and calling it propaganda and demanding justice.

Look here at how fans reacted to BCCI’s move –

WHAT IS BCCI DOING?
It doesn’t matter to BCCI whether Sanju Samson performs or not. They just want to waste his talent. Even after scoring good runs in the last match, BCCI only saw what Deepak Hooda did. Do BCCI selectors smoke W€€D before Team selection?#SanjuSamson

But different rules only made for Sanju Samson even after performing brilliantly scored 77(42) on his comeback match still didn’t included in 2nd & 3rd T20i whereas special guest like Pant getting continues games even after failing miserably.

Pant, Iyer and all statpadders are still there in T20 team. And a proper intent merchant T20 player like Sanju Samson misses out even after performing well.????????????#JusticeforSanjuSamson #SanjuSamson #justiceforsanju pic.twitter.com/lVsn1G2mVK

There is a clear propoganda to restrict Sanju as just a T20 player. Once they tried to tag him as an IPL player. When most of his gen players played accross formats for the nation (as complete failures), why this talented player is always kept at bay?#SanjuSamson #BCCI pic.twitter.com/9SAYszoio1

Justice For Sanju Samson#SanjuSamson not selected in Squad of Odi
He played 1 match and scored 46 Runs
And For 2nd and 3rd t20 he is not even in the squad despite giving good Performance at opening position!!
Now BCCI is very biased !!!
Shame on you BCCI #BCCI pic.twitter.com/Pm1x3xNFdJ

The @BCCI and @chetans1987 should explain to fans why they dropped a player whose last two innings in T20i are 77 and 39 respectively. If talent and form are not factors in team selection, tell us on what basis you are selecting the players. @SGanguly99 #SanjuSamson pic.twitter.com/CClrTxjZ5A

This is a clear indication that #SanjuSamson won't be a part of T20 WC squad. If you are wondering why his fan base is growing day by day, it is because masses stay by the deserving underdog. #JusticeForSanjuSamson #bcci @BCCI
