“For so long county cricket has been a really good producer of international players. I don’t think there’s a problem with the system…If you want the strength early season, unfortunately, you are going to have to stop the players from going to the IPL.

“They are playing there in the early part of the season just before the first tests. You need your best players playing county cricket to prepare for that.”

It is worth mentioning here that England’s Test team are under massive pressure after losing the Ashes in Australia 4-nil.
