#2 Marlon Samuels
The enigmatic Samuels has always sparked debates across cricketing circles. When he is on a song, there is little a bowling side can do, but then his callousness has on many occasions led to his downfall.
However, the Jamaican has been in sterling form recently, and his ability to win matches was on full display in the recently concluded tri-series. However, a Test average of 33.53 in 64 matches does not justify his potential, and now in an inexperienced squad, the veteran will have to put up his hand and start delivering.
He has managed 5 half centuries and only a solitary century against India, but considering his recent form in white ball cricket, and his experience, he is certainly a threat.
