IPL 2022: Sanju Samson at fault for not making opportunities count for India selection, says Ian Bishop

The West Indies pace legend feels Sanju Samson should have stepped up for his side Rajasthan Royals on the day when in-form Jos Buttler is not scoring runs.

Former West Indies speedster Ian Bishop reckons Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson is wasting good form and opportunity to press for a recall in the Indian T20 set up by not playing impactful innings in the IPL.

The wicketkeeper-batter is still on the fringes of the Indian T20 team and a stellar show in the IPL could help him stake a claim in the T20 World Cup squad.

“That Sanju is wasting good form and good opportunity to score runs to press for an international recall, to lead his team when Jos Buttler doesn’t score,” Bishop said on ESPNcricinfo’s ‘T20 Time Out’.

Although, Samson is a delight to watch when he gets going, the free-flowing right-hander is yet to consistently play the kind of impactful innings one expects from him.
