The great Clive Lloyd was suggesting 2 overseas players for the Bang. and Zimb.
It is a good idea for me as long as there is only 2 overseas players in the country. County cricket are allowing foreign players then why cannt the Country levels. After all the cricket should be competitive ones. The games of the minors would be a weak and one sided games with very strong countries. For eg game of Australia Vs Zimbabwe. There would be say score like 700 to 800 some day in the test and the Zimbabwe will get out under 50 runs. Would this be a competitive match ?
Next when will Bangladesh win the first test win against Australia. Most probably in 10 years or 20 years
When will the next country get test status most probably in 2 years of 5 years. When will they register the first win again takes 10 years ro 15 years.
Otherwise restrict the matches in 8 countries and not to allowing minors to play cricket.
How many people would be there to see a Australia Vs Zimbabwe match. How many people would support to see Newzealand Vs Bangladesh match.
If there is one or two overseas players then there would be more competition. Two overseas players can train the entire team to reach professionals. Look on different countries there might be some people in different countries who are not born in that country. They have to wait 4 years to qualify to play in the country if they were born in another country
Say Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh. Everyone would love to see them play cricket but its impossible for them to play in Australia because of the quality of the players. If they play for Bangladesh. The Bangladesh cricket standard will improve. When the standard improves the players will try to reach up to the standard. For eg. a score aroudn 350 was impossible in 10 to 15 years above in test matches. Today 3.5 runrate is quite common in test. More matches are won in test cricket where as the matches were drawn before.
Waqar, Wasim, etc are heroes of Bangladesh people. They would love to see these guys play for Bangladesh cricket.
There should be criteria for the overseas players. They should be like these.
1. The overseas players should sign a contract for eg 6 months to play for the minor team.
2. The overseas players should be retired players or recently retired palyers.
3. If possible the overseas players stay in the country of minor cricket for period fo 2 to 3 months or if possible take the citizenship in the country.
4. There should be a qualifying for overseas players ie, 2 months or 3 months to play in the domestic matches of the country.
5. They should look for the development of the quality of the cricket in the country.
Coaches are foreign guys. Some ground stuff are foreign guys. Pitch are made in other countries. Lots of people work for employment in different countries. The playing material used can be foreign stuff.
Then y not give a chance of 2 overseas players in a country of minors ?
Looking for ur suggestions
