Off topic: I don’t know the eligibility rules, but assume they are like rugby? One thing is the England team is technically the England and Wales cricket team.
And here’s to Eoin Morgan  |
The cricket eligibility is all a bit confusing.
Morgan is English because of his mother. (Interesting in the context of this thread).
The ICC determines eligibility and it is based on membership. Scottish and Irish cricketers are no longer eligible to play for England as their own nations are members.
The West Indies is not a single nation, but a collective.
A similar confusion exists around membership of the IOC compared to FIFA/PGA when it comes to Olympic representation.
And a whole can of worms when you consider that Jersey, Guernsey, N.Ireland etc are not part of Great Britain, but compete as Team GB!
