Five Indian players who will benefit from playing in foreign T20 leagues

#2 Manish Pandey

The talented but inconsistent Manish Pandey will benefit from exposure to foreign leagues

The first Indian to score a century in the IPL (which he scored as a teenager), Manish Pandey has been knocking on the doors of the national selectors for a while. But the talented batsman has been unable to cement a spot for himself in the Indian squad due to a combination of the wealth of batting resources in the Indian team and also some not-so-impressive performances of his own.

An integral member of the dominant Kolkata Knight Riders team (he scored a match-winning 94 in the 2014 final), Pandey is likely to find many suitors if he is permitted to participate in foreign T20 leagues. Batting in foreign conditions against world-class bowlers will help the 27-year-old take his game to a higher level and he could make a stronger case for his inclusion in the national team.
