World Vaughan wants more England players in IPL
Former captain Michael Vaughan has England urged England players to use the high-profile IPL in order to hone their skills for next year's Twenty20 World Cup. ''We should be making our players available for the whole of the IPL window. We are not great at Twenty20 cricket. We've got a Twenty20 World Cup in May and at the minute we've got no chance,'' Vaughan was quoted as saying by 'The Guardian'. ''If it was my England team I'd be looking at the first-team players and thinking that I want them to experience playing in those IPL games, I'd want to have them playing in those packed stadiums and picking the brains of all those great players. That will give us a better chance of winning the Twenty20 World Cup. ''We have to give our players as much opportunity as possible to try and win a trophy. England should take the guys who could do with a rest from Test cricket and send them to play in the IPL to develop their Twenty20 skills,'' he added. Pointing out that England have never won a major international trophy in cricket, Vaughan asserted that senior players in the national squad should skip the tour to Bangladesh, which begins in late February in order to focus on preparing for the Twenty20 World Cup in May. ''I don't have any quibble with senior players missing the Bangladesh tour. That tour is not going to be about developing the team for the Ashes. Sending players to the IPL would produce a few good performances and help develop a good network of players to come back and play for us in the Twenty20. One thing our Twenty20 players don't have is experience,'' Vaughan said.
