Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan to BCCI: "Allow Indian Players to take Part in Foreign Leagues; It Helps for Comeback!" VIDEO

Ifran Pathan and Suresh Raina on Saturday, joined on a Live session on Instagram and made a statement. Both the players agreed that the BCCI must allow Indian players to participate in foreign T20 leagues.

“I wish BCCI plans something with ICC or the franchises that Indian players get to play foreign leagues. At lease allow us to play in two different foreign leagues. If we play quality cricket in terms of foreign leagues, then it would be good for us. All international players make a comeback by playing in those leagues,” Raina said.

Since India does not have any player who has debuted at the age of 29 and 30, Ifran Pathan went on to say, “There is a different mindset in different countries. Michael Hussey made his debut at the age of 29 for Australia, an Indian player can never make his debut at the age of 30. I think as long as you are fit, you should be available to play for your country. I would suggest that all those players who are 30 years old and they are not on your radar to play international matches, you should allow them to play in foreign leagues.”

Pathan, former Indian pacer announced his retirement from cricket in January this year. During the live, he asked Rana to give his best shot to make a comeback into the national side.
