Samson to miss out on T20 World Cup?

Samson will aspire to get back in contention for the Indian team having been a hit and miss since his return to the side. The Kerala-born superstar did get runs under his belt against Ireland and West Indies but has often shot himself in the foot, failing to make the best out of his abilities.

The right-hander’s ability to score quick runs and his versatility makes him one of the more senior players on the Zimbabwe tour. Samson did make his debut against the same opposition seven years ago, and will hope that he can turn his international career around on his return to Harare.
