In a fresh turn of events, reports have emerged stating that both the Rajasthan Cricket Association and Tamil Nadu Cricket Association have approached wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson following his controversial exclusion from the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA)'s squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

The decision has sparked widespread outrage across the nation, with fans and experts expressing their discontent over the move. The KCA's decision to drop the star cricketer has sent shockwaves through the cricketing community, as many felt that Samson, who has been in impressive form for both Kerala and India, was unfairly left out of the squad.

Samson's exclusion has raised questions about the management's approach and sparked debates on regional favouritism and lack of transparency in selection processes. In light of the controversy, Rajasthan Royals, the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise with which Samson has a long-standing association, has reportedly reached out to the cricketer. The Rajasthan-based franchise sees immense value in keeping the talented player within their ranks, offering him a platform to showcase his skills at the national level.

Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA), sensing an opportunity to capitalise on the situation, has also reportedly initiated contact with the 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman. Tamil Nadu have been known for producing quality cricketers, and adding a player of Samson's calibre could strengthen their lineup.

As the situation unfolds, fans are eagerly awaiting an official statement from both boards, while speculations about Sanju Samson's future with Kerala cricket continue to make headlines. With his exclusion from the Vijay Hazare squad, the cricketer's immediate future remains uncertain, but the interest shown by Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu could offer promising avenues for the talented player.

In the past several players have switched states, the latest examples being Karun Nair, who now plays for Vidarba after moving away from Karnataka, while Wriddhiman Saha controversially moved to Tripura a few years ago after sour relationships with Bengal Cricket Association.
