International sportsmen, playing for England and aged between early 20s and mid-30s. I'd be interested to get comments, especially from non-Brits, about whether they can be said to be typically English or pretty well international. In batting order:

Alastair Nathan
Alexander Daniel
Nicholas Richard Denis
Joseph Edward
James William Arthur
Benjamin Andrew
Jonathan Marc
Moeen Munir
Stuart Christopher John
James Michael
Steven Thomas

Alistair is pretty british, and Stuart on a 20 something. The others are just classics. Other than Moeen, who I assume is an immigrant.

Alastair Nathan- Very English.
Alexander Daniel- International.
Nicholas Richard Denis- International until Denis.
Joseph Edward- International.
James William Arthur- They're all international on their own, but put together it's very English.
Benjamin Andrew- International.
Jonathan Marc- International.
Moeen Munir- Is none of the above an option?
Stuart Christopher John- English.
James Michael- International.
Steven Thomas- International.

The only one typically English is Alastair. The rest could be found in the US, from my experience. I have no idea where Moeen would be from. It looks middle eastern, maybe?

Good guess! His grandfather was born in Pakistan but moved to the UK.

FYO, he's got magnificently bushy black facial hair, and is apparently known as The Beard To Be Feared!
