For anyone who wants to replicate the total number of players across the three forms, one technique is:

Paste all the test players, ODI, and T20 players into one column, say column B, of a spreadsheet.
Use the following formula in the cell of your choice: =SUMPRODUCT((B1:B2000<>"")/COUNTIF(B1:B2000,B1:B2000&""))
Bear in mind possible problems if you copy and paste from Wikipedia's lists:

You have to delete any cells which contain other words such as "Test" "ODI" "T20", etc.
Some names may end up with a space at the end, which means they are treated as "unique" using the above formula.
There are two different players called Jack Russell, so it's a good idea to change at least one of their names.

A couple of questions[edit]

is there a source for this list?
Should mention be made that the team officially represents Wales and previously Scotland? Spike 'em (talk) 08:29, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there.

No. I made this list using information I found online (e.g. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1773400-how-many-england-test-cricketers-have-been-born-abroad#slide0), and have been updating it in recent years. I made the page because I couldn't find a definitive source online.
No strong opinion about this. Whether it was official or not, it's still an anomaly that the team was called England and the players were born in other parts of the UK.
