Samson has gone through a run of low scores on the tours of Ireland and England, however, with scores of 5, 0 and 1 before being dropped in the second T20I against England in Manchester, paving the way for the 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to make a long-anticipated international debut.
While Samson's lean run is understood not to be a factor in his omission from the Zimbabwe tour, it could not be confirmed if the selectors spoke to him about their decision.
The Zimbabwe series will begin four days after India's tour of England with the T20Is scheduled on July 23, 25 and 26 in Harare. It is understood that VVS Laxman will be head coach for the Zimbabwe tour as well as the Asian Games with the regular India coaching staff focussing on the Sri Lanka Test tour in August and the white-ball series against West Indies in September-October.
