Five Indian cricketers who should play County Cricket 

Murali Vijay

Murali Vijay is one of India's best Test batsmen

Along with Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, Murali Vijay is India's best Test player. The right-hander has proved his worth at the top of the order in the last three years and has gone on to become one of the best Test openers in the world.

Though he has been rock solid at the top of the order, his inconsistency is something he should work on. He has the skill to see off the new ball with ease and the temperament to play long innings, but his failure to convert his starts into big hundreds is something he needs to address.

An average of just less than 40 in this format does not do justice to the way he plays, after all, sometimes numbers do lie. The Tamil Nadu opener should work on his consistency when he is not on national duty.

Like Pujara, he plays only one format for India and should consider playing in the County Championships when he is on a break. It will only make him evolve into a better batsman.
