1. Inviting English county teams is not practical. They are proffesional outfits and would cost hugh amount of money which could be spent better ways. Rather inviting the Academy teams from England and Australia would be less expensive as ECB is quite keen to give their future generation of talented players 'subcontinental experience'.

2. As I understand only 'Abahoni' is looking for quality players like Heath Streak, Chris Cairns, Grant Flower etc. Rest of the clubs are chasing mediocre (in terms of international class) foreigners who are successful in our domestic cricket. Imran farhat would not be able to play due to national commitment. Not surprizingly most of the clubs are interested in foreign batsmen whereas having few quality offie/leggie and pace bowler in the domestic circuit would have done good for our cricket. I thought they might come up with some guidelines about recruiting quality players. One out of three permitted should be a quality bowler.
