what is the procedure for an indian ranji trophy cricketer to play county cricket abroad???

Answer 1

*First of all there is a limit to number of overseas players a cricket county can have at a time. I believe the number is 2! So, unless you are a very good player in domestic level, your chances are remote! They mainly prefer international players or players who've atleast made international appearances. But players like Brad Hodge, Michael Hussey, Simon Katich (all from Aus) have played in counties even before they made serious impacts in international levels. I think Pieterson also had a season with Hampshire! But all these players were enormously talented.... & were sure to get picked to their respective national sides.

* I believe, the best chance would be via National Cricket Academy. Also upcoming players in under-21 or under-19 levels with international experiences have better chances. Maybe, few counties might just go through profiles of players in the national selection probable list.

* Incase u did get an invite, U have to get the permission from BCCI, maybe your state side & then get your papers cleared for emigration
