The idea is sound in principle but i can't see too many Lancastrians turning up to cheer on Adil Rashid for the north or Yorkshiremen Flintoff.

I think it may well happen but the diehard fans of counties won't like it one little bit.I agree that 10 5 day games each with a higher standard of cricket will help the national side but i doubt you would get the fans turning up as it would be like merging Liverpool and Manchester United and expecting the fans to unite behind one club.It wouldn't happen and i wouldn't expect it too.
