Samson averaged a decent 28.6 across 17 IPL games this season albeit with an impressive strike rate of 146.8. He not only presents India with an attacking middle-overs option as a player but can also keep wickets well

While India's red ball team is busy preparing to take on England in the one-off Test, India's limited-overs team will battle Ireland in a 2-match T20I series from June 26th onwards.
