Quiz! Everyone to have played men’s Tests for two teams

A cricketer playing for two nations is rare. However, it has become increasingly common since the ICC assigned T20I status to every T20 between two nations. Cricketers, especially after being discarded, have moved from Full Members to Associate Nations (like Joe Burns from Australia to Italy) or, thanks to efficient scouting, the other way round (Mahika Gaur from the UAE to England) or even from one Associate to another (Nitish Kumar from Canada to the USA). Some, like David Wiese, have even switched in ODIs.
