Representing the nation is the prime aim of any cricketer and they work hard to raise to that level. While cricket has witnessed many greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Don Bradman, Wasim Akram and others, there have been players who have represented two different countries on the international stages.
To add more, one of England’s best white-ball captains of all time, Eoin Morgan, under whom they won the 50-over World Cup in 2019, was eventually born in Ireland and was a part of the Irish national squad before he made it to the England squad post his migration.
As things stand, let us take a look at five players who played for two different countries on the international stage:

Eoin Morgan, the left-handed batter, eventually made his debut for Ireland in the year 2006 against Scotland. The southpaw was born in Dublin, Ireland and his passion for cricket brought up him to the level of playing international cricket for the Irish team.
However, Morgan made his Test and T20I debut only for England, unlike the 50-over format. Eventually, the left-handed batter grew up in stature, was tasked to lead the side in the 2019 World Cup and eventually returned the favour by winning the title for the first time ever.
