Sub Fielders

Thinking about England here, but when did we go from using local club players as substitute fielders to lads who were picked in the squad? Has there been a rule change?

Matty Potts took a catch this morning and Rehan Ahmed fielded earlier in the game but it was always the case that the county who played at a particular venue would provide the sub fielders. Gary Pratt was an exception of course, but I also remember Karl Turner taking a catch for England in a Test at CLS and aside from that there were several instances of county youngsters fielding for England.
 

I’d guess that with fielding being treat a bit more seriously now, almost treat as an important discipline, they want their elite players out there.

That was why Gary Pratt kept getting picked :lol:

Just wondered if there’d been an official ruling.
