Depak Patel and yes that is the man.

If the question is of Indian origins, ethnic and excluding mix, but to have/also played for a country other than his birth then that is different.


So for greatness aside you have, from the top of my head


Ranjitsinghji - England
SFAF Bacchus - USA
Depak Patel - NZ
Robin Singh - India (but I thought his parents)


Nasser's  and Ramp's mothers are White British.


Ranjitsinghji had good FC and Test numbers.

For an ethnic Indian or black to play for a white country , he has to be twice as good as  a white player
Either that or desperation on the part of the white country

de bearded one Hashim's grandparents are Indian, isn't his origin Indian?

Pup,


I would say but I think the definitions for this question are not clearly defined hence my assumptions.
