5 Indian origin players who have played in the Ashes

4. Ravi Bopara 

Ravi Bopara was born in an immigrant Indian Sikh family at Forest Gate, London in 1985. Bopara was an integral part of England's white-ball set-up due to his ability to contribute with both the bat and ball. The 37-year-old has featured in 120 ODIs and scored 2695 runs at an average of 30.62. Also, he bagged 40 wickets at an economy of 4.91.

When it comes to the T20Is, Bopara has scored 711 runs in 38 games and bagged 16 wickets at an economy of 7.21. Besides the former England cricketer’s exploits in the limited overs circuit, he has done a decent job in the Test arena and scored 575 runs in 13 games at an average of 31.94.

Bopara also represented England on four occasions in The Ashes but was not able to make a mark with his performances. In those outings, the London-born could only manage 105 runs at an average of 15.00.

Bopara last donned the England jersey in March 2015 but he is still an active cricketer and features in various T20 leagues around the world.
