Dirk Nannes played for Netherlands when they made their debut in 2009. Just two months later, he was called to play for Australia and played the 2010 WT20 with them. Roelof van der Merwe was part of the South African squad in WT20 2009 and 2010. Later in 2015, he acquired a Dutch passport and is now currently in the Dutch team for WT20. He and Dirk Nannes are the only ones to have scored and claim a wicket for two different countries in WT20.
