#2 Sanju Samson

Australia 'A' v India 'A' - Quadrangular Series Final

The 23-year-old was one of the prime contenders to make his ODI debut for the Men in Blue against Sri Lanka. However, the selectors chose to persist with MS Dhoni as the first choice wicketkeeper-batsman.

Samson has consistently been performing well at the domestic level, in the Ranji Trophy and in the Indian Premier League as well.

However, he has just been given one chance with the national side in a T20I against Zimbabwe in 2015.

He is currently the top-scorer for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy with 577 runs to his name in 10 innings. He will hope for the selectors to give him a chance within the next few months.
