#4 Luke Ronchi

Ronchi played international cricket for New Zealand and Australia

He was one of those rare players who has played international cricket for two countries and the only player to have played for both Australia and New Zealand. Born in New Zealand, Luke Ronchi moved to Australia when he was young.

Ronchi played only four One Day Internationals and three Twenty20Is for Australia since his debut in 2008. He struggled for his place in the national team and was never a regular in the side.

He then moved to New Zealand in 2012 to enhance his chances of international cricket. He made his international debut for New Zealand in 2013 and played a huge role in their run to the 2015 World Cup finals.

A destructive batsman and an excellent wicketkeeper, Ronchi has played 85 ODIs and 33 T20Is in his career. He finally retired from international cricket in 2017.
