Most "International" Player of All-Time

[shortpitched713]

I count 11 countries

Pakistan
England
Bangladesh
Sri Lanka
Hong Kong
India
Canada
South Africa
USA
Australia
Jamaica/St Kitts and Nevis/West indies

Is Shahid Afridi the most "international" cricketer of all time (for some reason I personally doubt it)?

Bonus points if we can find a player with more countries in the pre T20/Franchise cricket era.

Are there even XI countries with any form of cricket pre T20s??

Rashid Khan's gotta be pretty close.

Something about Pashtun legspinners gives the traveling itch, it seems.

Taliban at home who knows what it could be?? Probably something in their diet.

Asia Lions were from a Legends League in Qatar, Fly Emirates XI were UAE, so that takes him up to 13.

The other pashtun in question is Pakistani though.

While we are on the subject of legspinners originally from that general bit of the world, surely Imran Tahir would have to be up there as well?
