who came with this sick idea of 4 groups instead of 3.
so players are now gonna get just 6 first class in A year? moreover they wanted to do away with duleep trophy as well ???
insanity :facepalm:
look at england they play 16 4-day games per season.
Their good domestic cricketers in age bracket of 25-28 year have already played 100+ first class games.
our 30+ yr olds haven't played 100 games even after being regular for last 8-10 yrs.

Its good to get your less talented guy experienced enough at young age to debue for the country.
you wont unearth 11 world class talents at a time....

Not a bad idea necessarily.

 

What happened  in Ranji is that pacers started bowling much slower as they had to play many many 4-day / 5-day games in quick succession.

 

Batsmen did not get to play seamers at full pace ..... and that robbed them of quality match practice.

 

Pacers bowling in a semi-tired state is not a good idea and it hampers their growth.

 

6 guaranteed games may mean pacers bowling with full intensity and batter having to cope with it.

yup, and bcci has enough to money to arrange such tournament anywere out of india. 

It can be zonal or a pool of 40-50 players divided into A , B, C teams 

 

Something that needs to be given a thought and emphasis , more cricket tournaments were top players compete against each other.
