A cricketer’s first identity is being the representative of a nation but what it the national identity is confused? What if we tell you that some cricketers have represented two nations in cricket?
Oh no, we aren’t joking for this a fact for real! Of the numerous lists of cricket insights there’s also a list of players who have represented two nations in their careers and this is strangely weird.
While Eoin Morgan has played international cricket for Scotland, he also plays for England now. Between 2006 and 2009 Morgan played for Scotland and since 2009 he’s been playing for England. Similarly Luke Ronchi has played cricket first for Australia and then for New Zealand.
