Overview

• On August 21 in Trivandrum, Samson fielded for Kochi Blue Tigers in a Kerala Cricket League game but did not bat as his team chased 98 at Greenfield Stadium.
• Reports via MyKhel say he had a fever and cough, visited Trivandrum Hospital before the match, then returned after the fixture for treatment.
• He was discharged following treatment to rest at home, according to accounts cited by Insidesport and CricketAddictor.
• Samson batted lower in the order for Kochi, a shift that reports suggest could reflect flexibility as India weigh roles for the Asia Cup with competition from Shubman Gill.
• Kochi bought Samson for a reported record ₹26.8 lakh, and reports indicate he could feature in the team’s next KCL game on August 23.
