Ex Player changes nationailty! LEE CAMP MERGED THREAD

[ahR]

For me...

Going by the thread I know how you all feel but we in Northern Ireland know this is a great find. His grandfather was born in Belfast so is entitled to play for us. At least we are not like the Republic of Ireland, were if you drink a pint of the dark stuff in Dublin you can play for them. Hope he gets a chance in the Serbia and Slovenia games as he is a great keeper (not as good as Paddy Kenny tho).

It's the lack of affiliation that he has had for NI and lets be honest if he really thought that he had any chance of playing for England then he wouldn't give anyone else a second thought. This is am afraid very much a fall back and just because his Granddad was born in Belfast doesn't make a blind bit of difference... absolute joke.. but there you go hope he does well for you guys... at least he should keep the scores down to a less embarrassing scoreline....

IMO if you have been capped at any level for one country you shouldn't be able to play for any other country.

Agreed, and it should be that way for cricket, too.
