In the light of Rankin's retirement from the Irish team, one is prompted to ask the question- whether England will ever have a full team consisting only of English players ?
In recent times, we have had the likes of Joyce and Morgan turning out for England.[bar Joyce's return]. Additionally, due to non-cricketing reasons, a lot of South Africans also turned out for England-i.e- Kevin Peitersen and a lot more.
So,when exactly will we see a full English side comprising of only the British ?
And is it fair to have a top Test side being a mix-n-match of players from around the world ?
Calling support for the Irish to get Test status is a must in these days when they are merely turning out to be a bredding gorund for the English.
