Big blow to India ahead of Champions Trophy, star player set to stay out of action for over a month after fracturing finger

Sanju Samson has given Team India a massive injury scare as the star wicketkeeper-batter suffered a fracture to his index finger after being struck by a fierce delivery from Jofra Archer during the fifth T20I against England at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on February 2, Sunday.

Reportedly Sanju Samson is set to sideline him for more than a month. Samson’s injury came right ahead of India’s ODI series against England and upcoming Champions Trophy.

However, Samson isn’t selected for either of the outing as he was only part of T20I series against England. However, the injury has surely forced him out of the crucial Ranji Trophy quarterfinals.

Samson has returned to his hometown of Thiruvananthapuram and will begin training only after completing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCAHis return to competitive cricket is contingent on receiving clearance from the NCA, which only tells the severity of the injury and the cautious approach being taken to his recovery.

“Samson has fractured his right index finger. It will take him five to six weeks before he can resume proper nets. So there is no chance of him playing the Ranji Trophy quarter-final for Kerala (vs J&K) in Pune from February 8-12. In all likelihood, his comeback will happen in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals,” a BCCI source told PTI.
