One Solution i think is to organize more A team Tours: (aside from improving the domestic infrastructure) We should consistently keep our Academy and A team players busy and "in touch"...this will ensure that they will consistently get exposed/challenged to better prepare themselves for international cricket.
We draft our players too quickly without completing the challenge, the challenge is to perform against a variety of oppositions in a variety of conditions. a true Classy batsmen can perform well in sticky pitches, in hard pitches in any pitches in any condition. What i am saying is that they should perform well in the A team/Academy circuit for over two seasons(by then you would have played a variety of opponents). of course, it is not really the board's fault or anybody's fault for having too many young players debuting in their teens simply because the senior players who were replaced, for the lack of a better word. sucked! and the pressure of the fans, and themselves, international cricket got the better of them.
