5 Indian cricketers who can benefit from County cricket

It’s often said by some purists in the fraternity that if an individual can excel in County cricket, he can excel anywhere, in any aspect of the game. Before the CPLs and IPLs, it was County cricket which the players would prefer. It would help them get used to the incredibly tough English conditions, where the batsmen have to tackle with the lateral movement off fast bowlers.

The dynamics of the game have changed drastically these days, but County cricket still commands a lot of respect. Cricketers from all across the globe still travel to England and try to better their technique with a short County stint.

The Indian cricket team is still trying to find the right permutations and combinations as there are a lot of cricketers in the fray who are doing well. A lot of these cricketers are terrific talents, but there are some loopholes in their techniques, which they should overcome if they desire to last long.

Few Indian cricketers can benefit extensively by playing County cricket and get the better of those little weaknesses they have. Here is a list of five such cricketers.

1. KL Rahul

Touted as a future captain, KL Rahul is definitely one of the brightest prospects in Indian cricket. He has been performing very well in Test cricket and has earned an assured place in the side. But the youngster still has certain temperament problems which are not letting him score big and he’s eventually getting out after scoring a half-century.

Though he scored a century in Australia, he still didn’t get exposed to any tough batting situations outside Asia. Rahul still needs to focus a lot on playing fast bowlers well and he can benefit a lot by playing County cricket. Being an integral part of the side across all formats, he won’t get enough time to do so, but if he ever gets time, this is something he should definitely try.
