So, although it's great to have NSW win trophies, the primary reason for state cricket is to produce players for the national side. if those players have moved to another state to progress than NSW are still doing their job.
I believe there is an issue with the pathways.
Rugby League has finally tapped into the Polynesian talent in western Sydney for example.
But where are all the kids coming through from western Sydney with Asian heritage for example we are flushed with a big multicultural population all around Sydney and the Indian, Sri Lankan community have been here for a while now that we should have more kids born here of that heritage who love and breathe cricket aren't getting a chance or themselves into the elite system.
Are they being ignored because of there race. I hope not especially as its 2022 but there should be enough talent pool that these kids aren't being looked at or getting into the system properly.
I think something has seriously gone wrong that Usman Khawaja is the only player from Western Sydney with Asian heritage that has come through and made the Australian team.
Its only one factor in probably a lot of others around it.
But that's one issue that stands out for me. I would have thought we would have had more of a trickle coming through by now then just Tanveer & Jason Sangha who have established themselves as decent state cricketers with potential.
