Nasser Hussain, another prominent figure in England's cricketing annals, traces his roots back to Madras (now Chennai), India. Aged 7 when his family relocated to England, Hussain went on to don the English colours from 1989 to 2004.
Notably, against India, he racked up four Test centuries and one in ODIs. Debuting in a match between Australia and England in 1982, Wessels' last Test match in 1994 was between Australia and South Africa.
One would assume that he played for England since that’s the common team between these two matches. However, he played for both Australia and South Africa.
He captained South Africa after playing 24 Tests for Australia during 1982–1985. However, he never played against the country of his birth.
He was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Born into the royal family of Pataudi, he is not only remembered as the father of the illustrious Indian captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi but also as the rare individual who played Test cricket for both England and India."Exciting news!
