T20 series against England
Star wicketkeeper batsman Sanju Samson was injured in the T20 series against England. He suffered a fracture in the index finger of his right hand during the home T20 series against England. After this, he also underwent surgery for it. According to Cricbuzz report, he can now be declared match fit soon. It is understood that he has passed his fitness test for batting. He still has to pass the NCA test for wicketkeeping. He may have to undergo additional fitness tests in the coming days to get wicketkeeping clearance.
Dhruv Jurel may get the wicketkeeping responsibility
If it happens that Sanju Samson is not fit for wicketkeeping or he does not want to do wicketkeeping until he is fully fit. Then there can be a chance for Dhruv Jurel. Rajasthan Royals have a great wicketkeeper in the form of Jurel.
