10 cricketers who have or could have played for another country

#9 Ed Joyce

The southpaw represented both England and Ireland in international cricket

Ed Joyce is the first Irishman to have represented both England and Ireland in international cricket. The talented southpaw, who is considered as one of the best cricketers produced by Ireland, was a member of the English squad for the 2007 ICC World Cup and the 2006-07 Ashes.

Joyce, however, decided to move back to his home country, Ireland, after he couldn't enforce himself into a tightly-packed English side. Joyce received special dispensation from the International Cricket Council (ICC) to represent Ireland in the 2011 World Cup. Since then, the left-handed batsman has been serving the Irish squad and is a key member of their team.

Joyce played 71 ODIs combinedly for England and Ireland and amassed 2349 runs at an average of 36.14.
