Indian empire
Interesting to see no fewer than seven cricketers of Indian descent playing in the England-West Indies one-day games (Bopara, Shah and Mascarenhas1 for England; Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Ramdin and Rampaul for WI).
I'm not sure any of them other than Chanderpaul would get into the current Indian team, though. And even he only would if Dravid was in a bad patch.
1 I think his family are from what is now Sri Lanka, but it was India back in the old days.

Alastair Cook got 80 from 56 balls for Essex yesterday: maybe he'll get a late call-up...

He's had a rubbish tour, though, and India are probably pretty happy with their one-day side at the moment. So granted they wouldn't take him right this minute, were he unexpectedly ruled eligible through a grandparent.
