Should the BCCI organize an annual "test" series by forming 2 sides domestically, including the players from the current test team and 11 best Ranji players, preferably (my preference) at away venues (mostly SENA)?
I know the Duleep Trophy is supposed to be some version of this, but it doesn't really pan out and it's always played domestically and isn't branded well and doesn't have a high prestige value associated with it.
With more good players coming out of the Indian domestic system in the recent years and, presumably, in the coming future, perhaps it will provide more incentives for young players and Ranji journeymen.
Maybe it's an idea which will come to fruition after a few years and it's too soon to go there right now.
