Playing international cricket is a dream for every cricketer, and representing your country in T20 Internationals (T20Is) is a special achievement. However, only a small number of players have represented two different countries in T20I cricket.
Unlike the early years of Test cricket, modern ICC eligibility rules allow players to switch countries after meeting residency or qualification requirements. Many players have moved because of family, work or new opportunities, while others have returned to represent their country of birth after playing for another nation. From Ed Joyce switching from England to Ireland to Tim David moving from Singapore to Australia, several well-known cricketers have enjoyed international careers with two different teams.
