Kerala Cricket League

Samson will be seen playing for the first time in the tournament organized by the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA). Earlier, he was dropped from the Vijay Hazare Trophy team for not attending the preparatory camp held in Wayanad in December 2024. Kerala reached the Ranji Trophy final for the first time in its history.

Brand Ambassador of Kerala Cricket League

Last year, Samson was declared the brand ambassador of Kerala Cricket League. However, due to international matches, he could not play any match in the first season. Samson was last seen playing for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. Due to injury, he could not play all the matches in the 18th season. In such a situation, Riyan Parag took over the command of Rajasthan Royals. Sanju scored 285 runs in 9 matches this season at an average of around 36 and a strike rate of 140.
