The Rajasthan Royals star realises he would need to be patient and wait for his opportunity to play the longest format of the game.
Sanju Samson played three T20Is against Australia recently but could only manage 48 runs. The 26-year-old will now be in action in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy where he is going to lead Kerala.
Speaking to Mid-Day, Samson feels a cricketer needs to play Test cricket to prove himself as a ‘proper cricketer’.
Samson also insisted that batting has been his priority for the past few years. The Kerala captain feels playing as a fielder has given him more dimension as a cricketer.
Sanju Samson feels every sportsman should experience bio-bubble
Playing in recent times in bio-bubbles has seemingly taken a toll on the players. However, Sanju Samson said that he connected with his inner self and was able to think a lot about his game.
Samson will have to pull up his socks if he wants to play for India in Tests. The 26-year-old averages 37.64 in 55 first-class games.
Wriddhiman Saha and Rishabh Pant are clearly ahead of him in the pecking order, but Samson still has time on his hand to improve his first-class numbers.
