Sure, there is no shortage of players at the national level, and looking at statistics it would seem that all of them merit a position in the national team. But many of these inductions in the national side has resulted in disastrous results. The recent cases of Vikram Rathore and Somasundar come to mind, and Paras Mambray too, very nearly makes it into this category. The ranji and duleep trophies are being played at the regional level at present. These competitions are long, and take up most of the season.
Some teams are strong and some are very weak.
The bombay line-up piles up 600 odd runs, somebody scores a double century, selectors take notice, and he is in the national side. Bombay has so many good batsmen, that all of them don't get into the team. This way, precious time is lost before the player finally gets into reckoning. Another example - The Karnataka bowling side. So many pace bowlers getting into the side that it hard to keep track of them.
