Is this ever possible for any cricketer to play cricket for two different countries? Well the answer is yes ! It is very much possible! Believe it or not, there are 25 such cricketers who have featured in international cricket from two separate countries. Just wondering, how the players would have felt while playing?

After wearing the jersey of a particular country, how did they actually play against the same country in another nation’s colors?  Even a greater astonishing fact is that there are some of them who have played even for arch rivals, like India and Pakistan, England and Australia, England and Ireland, England and Scotland.
But the most heartbreaking condition will be for their fans right? Just imagine how the fans of both the countries would have reacted when the players would have taken the field.

They would really be confused right? Whether to cheer for them or to boo them! Here is a list of all the international cricketers who have played cricket for two countries:
