11 cricketers who switched allegiances between under-19s and senior team

#4 Grant Elliott

Elliott scored the winning runs in the 2015 semi-final against South Afria

Grant Elliott was born in South Africa and played for Gauteng from 1996-97 and like many South Africans, he sought pastures anew after being frustrated with the quota system in South African cricket. Elliott migrated to New Zealand in 2001 on the advice of Ken Rutherford.

He, however, represented South Africa A in 2007, before he became eligible for New Zealand. His call-up to the national team came in 2008 and he made a maiden ODI ton in 2009 in just his 3rd match.

Elliott will be remembered more for his crucial knock where he scored a six off Dale Steyn in the 2015 World Cup semi-final to help New Zealand advance to their first ever finals.
