Talk:Pakistani cricket team in Ireland in 2018

Boyd Rankin - the third to play Test cricket for two different national teams?
In the section "Only Test" there is the sentence
 * Rankin became the first player in twenty-five years, and only the third after John Traicos and Kepler Wessels, to play Test cricket for two different national teams.

There are two references for this: There is a clear conflict here. The article in The Hindustan Times states "Only two players in the past — Kepler Wessels and John Traicos — have played Test cricket for two countries." This is demonstrably untrue, since not only does ESPN CricInfo list no fewer than fifteen players who have achieved this feat, but fourteen such players (Rankin naturally being the only omission) are listed in These fourteen are: See List of cricketers who have played for two international teams. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 20:58, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Good spot. The 25-years bit is inaccurate too. Not sure if it is meant to be 25 years since a Test player switched teams (Wessels did so in April 92 : 26 years ago) or since a player last played for his second country (Wessels' last Test for SA was in August 94, a little under 24 years ago). The figures mentioned are just for Tests; Rankin has already played ODIs for both Eng and Ire. Has anyone any other problems using Hindustan Times as an RS?

 * Yes, good spot. I've not noticed any issues with the Hindustan Times before, but in any case, I've changed it and re-worded it. Let me know if anything else jumps out. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
