Use of A teams and long tours to Globalize Cricket

There are 8 strong cricket nations.

They have strong A & B teams.

There are also Board President’s XI ,Chairman’s XI,U-19 etc.

These teams can be send to the weaker nations more often and for longer time or tourneys organized to play the associates.

In this way the associate nations will become stronger.

For example :

Take a nation Nepal

Nepal’s tour of India

3.5 months

6 First Class Series vs India B

7 Match Pro40 Series vs India B

Nepal/India A/BP XI/Canada Quadrangular Pro40 Series (Each Team 7 matches max.)

2 T20s vs India Youth

3 First Class Series vs Saurashtra

1 T20 vs Mumbai Indians

Or

Take a team BP XI

BP XI’s South America Tour

2.5 months

3 First Class Series vs Argentina

3 First Class Series vs Belize

Argentina/Belize/BP XI Tri Pro 40 Series

2 T20s vs Chile & Argentina

Another :

Belgium’s Tour of India/Sri Lanka

3 months

5 Pro40 Series vs BP XI

2 T20s vs KKR

4 First Class Series vs Bengal

3 Pro40 Series vs Sri Lanka A

Belgium/SL A/India A Tri Pro 40 Series


How about the A/B teams touring associates & playing the youth or U-23 team instead of the part timers?

Ex: India B playing Canada U-23 in Toronto during a 1.5 month tour.

These other teams long tour idea is both economical & feasible .The players involving just have to get full time contracts.


It will help to strengthen the CRICKET WORLD.

So you want a team bowled out for 12 to go and play an Indian Domestic side and get bowled out for 0? Oh yeh, that's really gonna improve them isn't it! Good one sherlock.

Failures are the pillars of success.

They can learn a lot from India A instead of Oman.

 

[Themer]

A team bowled out for 12 would get absolutely shat on by India A. Its once again a ridiculous idea that you've thought up without thinking about it.

Being bowled constantly for less than 20 isn't going to help them.

:laugh I'm going to try use that in every situation I come across in life. But you can't have success if you keep failing. Getting bowled out for less that 20-odd for years and years on end ain't gonna do much good. In fact it'll be so discouraging that the players would give up the game altogether.

 

[Ollie_H]

Yeah, tell that to the Bangladesh who win one game every 2 years.

As the tour is long they can take the help of India A s coaching staff too and analyse & improve their performance in every possible way.

Ever heard practically everyone in the cricket world say that there is too much cricket? You're creating a hell of a lot more like this.

Everyone doesnt follow the A or B teams closely.

Its just for development.

 

[Imager36]

Yeah, but think of the players is what I'm saying. Would a load of decent players from England really be willing to go on a 2 month tour to Bhutan during their winter break?

It's neither economical nor feasible. Players in weaker nations are part-time cricketers meaning they have real jobs on the side. It's not feasible for them to give up a profession that they're actually good at to play cricket for a team that is unlikely to get recognition during their career.
