I ought to do a piece on the increasing Sikh-ing of Indian cricket -- today, Harbhajan, R P Singh, Dhoni and Yuvraj all playing. (Plus Monty should arguably have been there for England.) I don't know if they're all religiously observant, but they're all socio-ethnically Sikh.
Of course, Sikhs have played for India before -- Bedi, Maninder, Sidhu etc were Test regulars -- but they were pretty much lone generational representatives.
Sadly, I think it would take a bit of actual research and sociological (and cricketological) insight, and I'm too lazy.
