Sadeera Samarawickrama

This gem of a player is still an unknown name in world cricket. He has played only in one Test, two ODIs and one T20I.

He showcased his talents in the second Test against Pakistan in Dubai. He was unflappable against Pakistan's bowlers, attacking them from the get-go.

This new kid on the block should not be neglected by team selectors, and should be given the opportunity to play against India.

The Sri Lankan team should consider him as an opener in the place of Kaushal Silva. He could form a good opening partnership with Dimuth Karunaratne and be a match winner if he plays to his full potential.
