3) Sanju Samson
Ajit Agarkar had previously made it known that the side for the ODI World Cup would resemble the team for the Asia Cup in 2023. The Asia Cup team, on the other hand, was a 17-person group, with Samson chosen as Rahul’s backup. Two players from the starting lineup will be forced to sit out since the ODI World Cup roster only has 15 players.
KL Rahul has been declared fully fit by the National Cricket Academy and is one of the key wicket-keeper batters in the ODI World Cup squad for Team India. Therefore, with the presence of Ishan Kishan as well as KL Rahul, it was inevitable that Sanju Samson had to miss out of the squad.
