I don't know how much time the players have to play County Cricket.Is there a specific reason for that or is it just because they are ****s?
Last year, Raina had World Cup commitments, then an IPL contract which committed him to mid-May, then India had international commitments from the end of May in the West Indies right through until the end of September in England.
If Raina wanted to play County Cricket this year, he wouldn't be able to play in April or May due to the IPL. Assuming he isn't close to a Test recall, he could come over from June. If he was in the Test side, he'd get a total of 1 Championship match in June, and would be in Sri Lanka for a Test series in July and back in India for a series vs New Zealand in August and September.
