I'm sorry but I don't get what you are talking about. You have to be English or at least English parentage (or Welsh in the case of peopel like Robert Croft and Simon Jones) to play for England!!!
Monty Panesar had Indian parents but he is English born and bred. Simon Jones is Welsh born (don't forget us Welsh we have a few good players here you know!), Geraint Jones was apparently born in South Africa (or Aus, not sure) to British parents (I'd guess Welsh with his name), and as for people like Hoggard, Flintoff, Trescothick, Harmison etc they are about as English as you can get!!!
They do not have any "non-English" or Non-UK players in the England team!!!
Sajid Mahmood, like Monty, was born here, to Pakistani parents I beleive. But that still qualifies him as English.
Its not like Football when they fill their teams with people from any other country.
