structural change for longer version of the game and batting techniques

This is not working...in one the thread our friend cricketfan mentioned about Gavaskar's explanation of the lbws we had...we definitely lack the technique. And all our batsmen don't get expose to play longer version of the games and don't show enough performance. I was talking to my friend, he gave the information that in India( like Ronji) trophy they play atleast three day games where batsmen get to perform and has to perform to be in the team. so we need to introduce it, it has been discussed several times but yet no sign...

arey baba if u dont have somewhere to go to in between official series and play long version matches to pin point your weaknesses and brush up your skills, then how the hell are you supposed to improve? DOMESTIC LEAGUE BROTHER, DOMESTIC LEAGUE!!!!

i think this is what we should do...remove from the national and premier leagues the national players and anyone else who does well in the leagues. We will be able to make at least three teams from those. Make those teams play first class matches and one dayers among themselves, one after another, when there are no tours. Schedule A team and U-19 tours so that they are at the same time as national team tours (if possible), so that whatever free time they get, they can play together. Make these three teams play day and night - almost everyday...if anyone doesnt perform well, send him back to premier league. I'm saying this because it's no use having a national league that is nowhere as competitive as international cricket. Our players need challenge. Bashar should face Rafique, Shafaq, Masree, etc etc everyday. He will not improve if he has to face some Santu Jhantu or Nuru. This is what the HPU should be all about; and then if someone does well in the premier league, bring him into the HPU. Select the national team from these 35 players.
