Even AB played in the mid-late 80s when he was arguably the best player in the world. These days the international caravan seriously inhibits players wanting to play county cricket, while the lure of T20 riches also seems to mean players' priorities lay elsewhere.

The moving ball seems something of an alien concept to a lot of our batsmen these days.
TBF guys like Steve Smith and Phil Hughes have played in England. Reckon Khawaja should go over and play since he's not a big part of the OD scene yet.
