Even Ranji played for England at one time. He wasn't English.
Among South Africans, Tony Grieg who captained England was a South African who moved to the UK.
Of course, if a player of South Asian descent like Monty Panesar should ever have the temerity to say that he isn't English, it wouldn't go down well with the UK press. Just one of those things...
Yes, he is South African. England also picked Eoin Morgan, who is not English but Irish. It is a peculair situation with England. Whenever they lack local talent they pick someone like that from Ireland, Scotland, SA or even some Aussie who was probably born in England. For them its a job, as any expat would think. The medai is only trying to manufacture a controversy where none exists.
