Tom Harrison, CEO of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), has approached Cricket Australia (CA) in involving England players in the Sheffield Shield. In the past, Australian cricketers participating in the ongoing Ashes like Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head and Michael Neser plied their trade in the County Championship 2021.

"The reality is we need to be spending a lot more time with players in Australian conditions. I've had a number of conversations with Cricket Australia and have written formally to Cricket Australia to ask if they would consider allowing us to put players into Sheffield Shield cricket, for example, as one significant change that we can bring to bear," said Harrison to BBC's Test Match Special.
