So I was watching WI vs IRE match yesterday and this was during last 10 overs of Ireland bowling. Bishop was talking about lack of pace bowlers at death for ireland and he brings up boyd rankin name and says he is not playing for Ireland anymore. He asks why do england steal players from other countries. Artherton was dumb found. :hysterical:. I never thought someone would ask English players during commentary.

I think it maybe the other way round too with ECB being a richer board and better opportunities, and players may willingly opt for England over their home country.

But why Ireland players want to play for England? they can stay and play for Ireland right?
Test Matches. Rankin has now a resume of an Ashes Player. Thats why a test status for IRE is needed ASAP.

As an associate nation? ECB has been at the forefront in denying test status to Ireland... Ireland can't do worse than Bangladesh in Tests...
