Joyce was about Morgans age though and was out of contention for England. Morgan is currently captaining and Rankin is clearly still searching for a place playing for the lions. To give up for any offers for that amount of time would be a very difficult thing to do.

ICC let Joyce off a bit of time. I imagine they would do the same for Morgan/Rankin for the sake of developing Ireland into a test nation, if status was granted. How that would affect their status as county cricketers and contracts is another matter. The way I read Rankin playing for England was more about him not losing his County contact by being classed a Kolpak, as much as any desire to play for England.

Classy bowling from boult. He's too good for Scotland, 2 really good balls.
