Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
Since there is a rule in cricket that cricketers from one country can go to another country and become citizens of that country and play for that country, so if a developed country spends enough money on cricketers, then cricketers from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or other countries can play for all those countries.
Anyone in the world can go to other country and became a citizen if they met all the requirement to become eligible so it's not something specific for cricketers alone.
And that is how USA participated in the champions trophy with the players origin from India and other countries but played for USA which will not work in the long run because even they these player got talents they got other careers and chose cricket for a month or two but in the hardcore cricketing nations the players who will just live their life as cricketer by 24/7 effort to become a better player so an occasional player can't match that level from someone who spend years to reach the same.
