#3 Sanju Samson
During his stint with the Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson did force people to sit up and take notice of his ability. He has spoken of the influence of Rahul Dravid on his game.
He now gets a chance to play under Dravid again for the India-A team, and the Kerala boy should look to lap it up. An attacking wicket-keeper batsman, Samson can fill the void left by Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the Test team.
Wriddhiman Saha has not yet nailed the position, and thus Samson should view this as an opportunity for the taking. He is young and extremely pleasing in his stroke-play. He just has to curd the natural instincts and play for the longer haul. Another possible candidate for the National Team.
