None, I think. Several of Indian/Pakistani descent though.
Full name Owais Alam Shah
Born October 22, 1978, Karachi, Sind, Pakistan
Current age 28 years 221 days
Major teams England, Middlesex

Arguably not 'currently' playing for England but has recently and is on the fringe of the squad.

Wouldn't get near a Pakistani team imo

For New Zealand, Scott Styris and Matthew Sinclair were both born in Australia. They wouldnt make the Aussie team ofcourse but it would lower NZ from 8th equal to a clear 9th place.
The way Styris played in the WC he wouldn't be far off the Aussie ODI team.

Sinclair's miles away from even Australia A though.

south african team would really be unbeatable though
Good call. If Strauss and Pietersen were playing for South Africa, then they would be an even better side, but not unbeatable.. Anyone else currently playing who was born in South Africa that doesn't represent them?

Matt Prior for one.

Of course not. But it'd make England weaker. Especially since they couldn't pick Pothas or Jones either...
Ah, I see what you are saying. Certainly South Africa would be a lot stronger if all South African born players stayed in the country and attempted to play for them, even if a few of them didn't get selected for the national side.
