It is good to see Samson being included in the squad. But it will create a negative atmosphere if people like Shashi Tharoor and Sreesanth comes out in support for him. Because then the critics will argue that they are supporting Samson just because he hails from Kerala. In reality, Samson doesn't need the support of these people. He can qualify to the team on his own merit.
Why there is a lot of support for this player, is he in great form and playing really well in domestic cricket to have this much hype, it is disspointing to get selected in the team and never play a game and not get selected again and if he is still keep on performing well in the domestic level then he will be in the team without a doubt, i remember him playing in the IPL but do not remember any special innings he played to have a hype like this .His performance was above average during the last two IPL seasons, but as of now he is not the first choice keeper to replace Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The selectors and the captain favors Rishabh Pant for that slot. Only if Samson can prove that his keeping and batting is better than Pant, he will be able to find a permanent slot in the Indian squad.
