Count your blessings through County Cricket

Virat Kohli who was known for pointing towards heaven now and then seems to have changed a lot after marriage. Maybe the social effect of the tall and lanky Anushka Sharma has brought some positive vibes in his life. The star who is the best in Cricket and replaced the World Cup-winning captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is taking the flight to England for a stint with county cricket.

Before the Cricket has hit more of glamour and there were no match schedules throughout the year during the summer most of our Indian cricketers from the likes of Md. Azharuddin, Mr. Kapil Dev, Sunny Gavaskar along with the spinners like Mr. Bishan Singh Bedi always use to have a tour of England Cricket Board. They use to have a stint with various  Cricket Club like Middlesex, Surrey, Hampshire and along with many other cricket clubs. The main purpose was to learn the skills related to International Cricket Council and develop young heroes in Indian cricket.

In this way, Cricket was confined only to few seasons in India and since the ground everywhere was not developed it was good for the cricketers from offshore regions to play at selected stadiums such as Bombay, Madras, Delhi, and Calcutta. The commentary section was also taken care by All India Radio and Doordarshan who have great statisticians keeping records on the fingertips and mind but not with help of computers.

Cricket was more of mind game with bowlers who use to whizz the bowl at speed beyond comparison. Now, talking about this Virat Kohli decision to go for the Tour to England for a stint with the local county is not only because of the upcoming tour of England but since Mr. Ravi Shastri who has a sharp intellect related to cricket and has served various counties, he must be the person behind Virat's decision.

With the World Cup 2019 at just one year from now, the England and Wales Cricket Board must be in full swing to make it a great success. It is known by everyone that after the year 1999, this is the first time Cricket World Cup is getting organized in England. With Pujara, Ishant Sharma and Ravi Chandran Ashwin also joining the county cricket it makes sense that these players should get accustomed to the pitch and weather conditions.

It's true that there is a Cricket series lined up in 2018 with England where the match schedule is of 5 test series along with 3-ODI's and 3 Twenty-Twenty internationals. The cricket players cannot learn about the pitch and climatic condition, as at that time the ground is prepared to keep in mind the visiting team and not the natural pitch conditions. 
The county cricket will have their own players from Stuart Broad to James Anderson and various other swing bowlers who can be a good player to watch out during the world cup. England has performed well in the past few years of 20-20 World cup and it is always a psychological edge in defeating the home team, the BCCI is playing a fair game of techniques to send the cricketers for understanding the ground and making them known as a positive impact maker in front of World spectators and Media.
