India has recently suffered some difficult defeats in the format.
Former Indian Navjot Singh Sidhu batter has presented a surprising suggestion. He wants BCCI to allow the participation of four to five foreign players in each Ranji trophy team such as the Indian Premier League (IPL). According to him, this can raise the performances of national players similar to IPL.
“We have been well in white ball formats due to IPL. India has managed to find winners of the party and our bank force is strong. However, we still have in the test cryket and lose against New Zealand at home and then in Australia. I have a suggestion to improve our yields in red ball format. The BCCI should allow four or five foreign players in each Ranji trophy team, and let me tell you that this would help us. We would become number one in the test cryket. In IPL, our players play with Crickets abroad, which has helped them. This could be tested in Ranji Trophy, ”said the Cricket player turned into a commentator.
