There may have been a bias a while back, but I think English cricket has moved on a hell of a lot in the last few years, in the structure of the set-up and in the attitudes shown by the ECB. Players get selected if the selectors think they have what it takes to play top level cricket. After all, who loses out if a top Leicester player is snubbed in favourite of an inferior Surrey player? The team suffers and the selectors get pasted for doing a crap job. Bias may have been reality before, but it's now a myth.
