All-Time XI of cricketers who weren't born in countries they played for

Kevin Pietersen

A man born for the big stage, Kevin Pietersen could have been England’s greatest international Test batsman had he let his bat do more talking than his mouth. But, the flamboyant player’s career was cut short despite great performances with the bat.

Nevertheless, the South African-born player represented England in 104 Tests scoring 8181 runs at 47.28 with 23 centuries. His chutzpah allowed England to post some historical wins in unchartered territories like Australia and India making him one of England’s greatest anyway, if not the greatest.
