Sanju Samson –
He isn’t an opener in List A cricket but might still get the backing of selectors as he has now sit out for five T20Is on the trot. The chances of Dhawan’s replacement getting a chance are minimal and keeping this in mind, the selectors might give another chance to Samson to avoid changes to the squad.
Samson’s double-century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture against forced selectors to bring him in the T20I squad and it could now see him get an opportunity in ODIs as well. Samson has 2281 runs in 88 List A matches.
