Rasool said even for the Ranji Trophy, training camps were held just for a month.
"Is that by any standards good enough to shine at the national level?" Rasool asked.
Rasool asked if Madhya Pradesh could send its under-25 side for a pre-season tour to South Africa for an exposure, why couldn't the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA), which is headed by union Minister Farooq Abdullah, who is also a former chief minister of the state.
Asked why the affairs in JKCA are so dismal, Rasool quipped: "I don't think I am supposed to comment on that."
The skipper, however, said that the JKCA must get better if it wants to produce better cricketers.
"Yes, the JKCA can always and should get better if we want to produce good sportsmen for the game. No doubt that we are encouraged by the JKCA whenever we do well, but for doing well, the association will have to work out a master strategy," he said.
Rasool thanked his father, Ghulam Rasool Zargar, 55, a government employee, for helping him to realise his dream.
"Despite a humble financial background, my father always helped, supported and encouraged me to chase my passion. And today, what I am is because of Allah's blessings and my father's unflinching support," he said.
Rasool said his ideals are
Sachin Tendulkar as a batsman, Graeme Swann of England as a bowler and Jack Kallis of South Africa as an all rounder.
Rasool is happy that Jammu and Kashmir's Ranji matches have now become a topic of national debate.
"National selectors had come to watch our game during the Ranji Trophy matches this year. I am definitely improving with each passing day and I am confident it would be very soon that I shall be representing the country in international matches", he said.
As a word of advice, Rasool asked young cricketers from Jammu and Kashmir to watch international players play the game to pick up on technique and finesse.
"If our budding crickets start worrying about the lack of facilities in the state, they would reach nowhere. My advice is, play the game wherever and whenever you can, but understand that without proper coaching one reaches nowhere."
Rasool told IANS the JKCA management has promised him the infrastructural facilities for the game would be improved.
