Its far easier to illustrate the main point I was making by using that terminology of Renshaw being "English". In hindsight, had I thought about it, saying "dual passport holders" are in both sides would have acheived the same. I was simply using the example to say there is an emergence of this being an "equal" problem for both boards, and that regardless of what a player considers themselves, money and influence from the top can sway people into accepting to play for a team they dont necessarily want to.

thats regardless of whether they hold a UK passport or not
OK. That interesting. And good - although the 7 years seems a bit extreme.
Some strings were pulled, then, in the case of Fawad Ahmed. Three years after arriving in Australia, he played for T20 team

I think that it was poor of the umps to allow the referral after such a long wait - even though it worked out well for Aus.
