IPL teams should give some of these players a chance. I mean I understand most of our players can't bat in the long version but for 20/20 players like Ash, Aftab and Tamim are hell entertaining. County teams cannot have more than 2-3 foreign players so BD players have to compete against other good players. Players from subcontient who play in the English county are mainly bowlers (ie. Naved Rana, Mushtaq A, S Mushtaq, Gul, Murali, Vaas, M. Kartik, Z. Khan, Bandara M, etc) very few batsmen get the offer. English county's management, coach, etc don't take players unless they are proven scorer and have decent technique to combat seaming and swinging conditions of England (ie. Sachin, Dravid, Sangakkara, Younis K, Ganguly, etc). Also most English batsmen playing in county bat better than our current national team's player (ie. although old but Ramprakash, Butcher, Joyce, Strauss, Hick, Phil Weston, recently retired Nick Knight, etc) In Australian league...just no possible for and BD players to make it because of the competition.
