We've often heard of the domestic 'Champions League' for a long time, and there have been a few such events, featuring Yorkshire (England), NSW (Australia), Barbados (WI) and Mumbai (India). A few even lament that there are not enough current internationals who will make these teams' all-time XIs.
But now, in some places, the balance of power has shifted. We don't know if Barbados is so dominant now. England has a new champion each season (maybe), and Yorkshire is not quite what it used to be in the past. Mumbai have been winning lately, but have not been so forceful, and don't dominate the scene so much- even lost the latest Ranji and ROD events. The story, however, stays the same in Australia, as NSW still dominate.
Who would make such a league this time? I'd say, from India, it would be Uttar Pradesh or even Delhi. England may have Middlesex, and Australia may send NSW again. And if it is extended to the other Test-playing countries, whom would you send from them?
