Munaf Patel denied permission to play in English T20 competition

[King Tendulkar]

Would love to have seen munaf field in county cricket, would have been hilarious

[Desi Cartman]

The 29-year-old fast bowler, who was part of the Mumbai Indians outfit that won the IPL, had been approached by the northern county recently and had subsequently applied for a no-objection certificate from the BCCI.

Hussey made his international debut in 2004 and was playing county cricket for years before that. There are many more such examples.

but his grandmother (or any direct descendant) was english........hence even KP moved from SA to England to play at the counties at a young age. Forget the countries, half the Irish team is qualified for them cause their parents or grandparents were Irish citizens at one point.

BCCI is a private body.. as such it can do whatever it pleases when it comes to contract with players.. if players don't like it..they can always leave BCCI.

Munaf is a good wicket to wicket bowler. Pace is not always the answer... just ask padosis.

what about Steve Magoffin, Chris Rogers, Michael Hogan of Australia, unknown Pakistanis in counties. There are other such players from Aus too who play in County.
