This player beat a total of 43 teams throughout his career.
Not by himself, of course!

That must mean someone who played both international cricket and domestic leagues in multiple countries. That said, these days there's a number of T20 mercenaries that could apply to.
I'll start the guessing with Warne, on the basis that he played Australia and English domestic, big bash and IPL, and won a lot of those domestic games, as well as beating every international team.

It's actually someone who played for his country against these 43 countries.
No, not Warne.
Hint: he's currently playing in the World T20s championships going on now.

Well it has to be someone who plays for an associate side in the past to have played in the qualifiers against lots of minnows...

You're on the right track!

Been looking at the historic ICC Batting and Bowling Rankings recently and thought a fun little game might be made up from that.
I give you 2 of a Top 5 from a certain month of a certain year and you have to guess the other three.
Something like....
August 1926 - Batting
1. Jack Hobbs
2.
3.
4. Charlie MacCartney
5.
