How would he count as a non overseas player?


His wife has a Danish passport. These technicalities now are beyond ridiculous.

Wow - I'll have to apologise to our resident Hampshire fan, as they are no longer the masters of Kolpakshire!

An absolute joke - how he can qualify through his wife's Danish passport I don't know. It's ridiculous

No doubt he's a wonderful player and he can pass on great knowledge to the others but why not give some of the emerging Lancs players a chance. First Chanderpaul and now Jayawardene - must have a combined age of over 80!

I guess he didn't use this route before because he was still playing international cricket

Because if it was any other job he was applying for he'd be entitlled to it as a spouse of an EU member therefore for all intents and purposes he is an EU citizen.

I do understand that @mdg20, it was more of a rhetorical question about how silly the system is ;)

Hang on....

That lad from New Zealand....Iain O'Brien? Wasn't his wife British and he wasn't allowed to play as a non-overseas so how come Jayawardene can? Similarly - what about Marcus North?

I think you are right. he was allowed to play and then could not get the required status and def could not play anymore...

this is very odd the qualification thru a relative or spouses passport...... pretty sure Dernback had an Italian mother or father and therefore qualified as non overseas...but Jayawardene?

I enjoyed watching him play for Somerset - a great addition to Lancs
