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. Wink

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.

Yes, I know that this will not work in the long run, but when a completely new team comes into cricket, naturally they will not have good quality cricketers and initially they will recruit some cricketers and later they will encourage their local youngsters to come into cricket and they will recruit various cricket specialists at the field level so that in a few years their pipeline will be strong enough. If a completely new team does not do this, then it will be very difficult for them to start cricket well. The United States participated in the last T20 World Cup with almost all the cricketers from other countries. In that tournament, we saw that the United States performed quite well, but the problem is that they did not work in the same way with their cricket after that tournament and they did not organize any bilateral series after that, that is why the people of the United States do not have that much demand for cricket.
