John Davison played cricket for Canada... he qualified to make the team becasue he was in the country for 3 days... when his parents were there she fell pregnant, so he is Canadian

[wackojacko]

[andrew_nixon]

half of team canada's players are guys from windies that are denied there or just immgrated here...if canada has a really good west indian player maybe windie sshould look in to it(like codrington)...west indies can use canada as a domestic system...lol

 

[Nirav85]

also i am one level away from canadian domestic level..i play in the junior team...then there is seniors and then try outs in toronto....so seniors is like Canadian domestic

Well, as you're not going to be able to sign as an overseas player, you'd have to get a British passport which is no easy thing.

So? If you want to play as a non-overseas player in England you have to have a British or another EU passport.
