Taken back. Just saw above

To sum it up.

These are nick/first names of three or more legendry cricketers, from three diferent countries , at least one of whom is a current cricketer mixed in the anagram GANDHIAN SAVVY JERK CO. In addition, none of them is from the subcontinent, and the word AND is not part of the anagram.

This is called service
