Will players like Mark Butcher, Mark Ramprakash and Graeme Hick ever play for their country again?
With performances like their latest scores against Sussex I don’t see why they shouldn’t. Australia, the World’s best team in all facets of the game, sideline great players up to their late 20 and early 30’s before giving them a regular place in the side.
They feel that forcing young players to have to be patient before having the chance to play for their country forces their players to mature and to savour the opportunity given to them.
I think that Moores will have half an eye on the progress of proven cricketers as well as England’s first innings this morning.
