R Ashwin has warned Team India against dropping Sanju Samson in favour of Ishan Kishan during the series against New Zealand.
With Tilak Varma set to return from injury, India may have space for only one of Sanju Samson or Ishan Kishan in the XI.
Ashwin criticised frequent chopping and changing, saying India should avoid “circus acts” with player selection.
Despite recent failures, Ashwin said it would be unfair to drop Samson after just a couple of low scores.
Ishan Kishan’s recent performances have added pressure to the selection debate, intensifying comparisons between the two.
Ashwin stressed the need for consistency and patience, urging the team to back players instead of reacting too quickly.
