Line and Length
Cricketer Of The Year
There are at least 4 more names that can be added to that lists and, quite remarkably, they all played in the Sydney Test against Pakiston in 2017.Being born abroad is meaningless - people travel on work. There is a huge difference between someone born abroad who returns to England as a child with or without getting nationality of country of birth (i.e. Strauss who moved back with British parents to the UK at the age of 6) and, say, Pietersen who is clearly South African and became eligible through dodgy rules. It is the same difference between Andrew Symonds and Keppler Wessels. Geraint Jones is hardly Papuan - if anything he is Australian or Welsh - learned his trade in Aus so I would have him as Australian for these purposes.
Australia have had 21 players born overseas play for them as follows:
ENGLAND (10): Charles Bannerman, John Hodges, Tom Kendall, William Midwinter, Percy McDonnell, William Cooper, Henry Musgrove, Hanson Carter, Tony Dell and Andrew Symonds.
SCOTLAND (1): Archie Jackson.
IRELAND (2): Tom Horan, Tom Kelly.
PAKISTAN (1): Usman Khawaja
SOUTH AFRICA (1): Kepler Wessels.
NEW ZEALAND (3): Tom Groube, Clarrie Grimmett and Brendon Julian.
INDIA (2): Bransby Cooper and Rex Sellers.

Matt Renshaw (England)
