Brendon urges counties to do duo a good turn
BRENDON MCCULLUM admitted it would be "slightly mad" if the progress Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir have made on England's tour of India was stymied by a lack of opportunities at county level.
The spinning duo were uncapped at the start of the trip and held modest first-class records.
But Hartley, 24, is the series' leading wicket-taker with 20 dismissals in four Tests and Bashir took a maiden professional five-for in Ranchi.
Lancashire signing Australia star Nathan Lyon this summer places a question mark over how much game time Hartley will get, while Bashir is second choice at Somerset to Jack Leach.
