They do all that now ADi. Meet with all the coaches preseason and to watch every county at least twice during it. They also liaise closely with the umpires.
Re youth development one of the problems they have now is that the standard of second eleven cricket has fallen dramatically - for a variety of reasons - so kids are coming through without a real base to work on.

Okay Kim, i was not aware of that practice and hence suggested it should be done from whatever i have experienced at club cricket and putting myself in selectors place.
I am not sure whether the youth cricket structure is same as that we have been through here.So cannot comment on that. Maybe you can or CF can say more about it as he is part of your country's cricketing system.How all that be be tweaked to have much better developed resources for the future.
