The ongoing saga between the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) and Sanju Samson may find a resolution in the coming days, as per KCA chief Jayesh George.

KCA and Sanju Samson have been at loggerheads in recent times. Samson missed out on the Vijay Hazare Trophy camp, which led to his expulsion from the Kerala team for the tournament. Sanju's omission from the India team has also been linked with him missing out on the Vijay Hazare tournament.

Although Samson claimed his prior declaration of unavailability, KCA chief Jayesh George said the player wrote only a single-line text saying he wouldn't be available for the training camp, when the association believed the India player would be leading the team in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

After the fallout with Kerala Cricket Association, Sanju Samson has been reportedly approached by Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu associations.

Amid the current saga, KCA chief spoke to MyKhel exclusively on Monday (January 20), suggesting the player will be reinstated back to the squad in the future, depending on certain conditions. As per George, the India star will be free to play for Kerala if he attends the camps in future.

"Sanju is currently in Kolkata and will be playing against England. There is nothing more to say regarding this. But he will be in the Kerala team again if he attends the camps. If he misses the camp, he will be left out," George said.

Samson earlier led Kerala in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and may feature for them in the Ranji trophy. The 30-year-old has not been named in India's squad for the upcoming Champions Trophy, but will be spearheading the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
