Why are young English batsmen failing in Tests?

#4. Lack of quality Test bowlers in domestic cricket

Consistent bowler James Anderson makes limited domestic appearances

One of the key reasons for the failure of English batsmen in international cricket is the lack of practice they have of playing quality bowlers.

Until the 21st century, county cricket had world class bowlers in abundance. But the advent of T20 leagues in various parts of the world has offered players lucrative options and hence they reduced their participation in county cricket.

This has impacted the growth of Engish batsmen. The lack of overseas bowlers in domestic cricket has hampered the growth of batsmen as they are devoided of proper challenges.

The duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, the two best bowlers in England are featuring in international cricket consistently and hence have made limited appearances in domestic cricket.

Most of other quality bowlers have turned their attention to limited overs cricket and hence there are very few genuine good bowlers left in England's first-class setup.
