Good move I think.  Hopefully other Indian players follow suit.

Annoying. Fair play to the Lankies though they seem to be the only county taking this tournament seriously this year, everyone else will be playing their 2nds as most first teamers will be involved in the Hundred ****

I would question what the point is for Iyer. He’s only going to play 50 over games by the sound of it, and the next World Cup is in India

Should have played this in 2018/19 before world cup.. Good move nonetheless

India would never let English players get a chance to play in ranji or VHT.

England still has the club system where they try to sign foreign players to get more memberships and sponsorships. BCCI doesn't care if they play domestic games in empty stadiums.

Probably to make a case for himself for the Test series which will be in England in August.

Cricket is not that popular in India.

There's tennis ball leagues that draw better crowds than state-level games. Popularity isn't the problem.

But why is he only playing one day? Unless he isn’t but the article suggests it’s just for the 50 over tournament 

[afan]

Not sure how just a month long tourney can help him, but getting your name plated on the Old Trafford plaque is in itself an achievement.

 

Top Indian batters needs to play atleast a season in the English counties if India has to win in England
