Inspired by Joshua da Silva keeping wicket on Sunday.
I don't think Sardesai is a Portuguese name but he was born a Portuguese subject in Goa.

I like it! I thought of a few more. Lionel BAKER (played a few tests for WI), Glenn TURNER, Jos BUTTLER (or Harold BUTLER if spelling is an issue), Jofra ARCHER, Matt MASON (Worcestershire), Tom CARTWRIGHT, Keith FLETCHER (arrow maker), Eddie PAYNTER and Mark TAYLOR (last two are spelling issues). Also Peter LOADER and Eddie LEADBEATER for a couple of more obscure ones.

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
Carl Hooper, Tom Cooper, Nari Contracter, Vijay Merchant, Ted Wainwright, Matt Fisher (Yorks), Joe Hunter (England wk from the 1880s) No shortage there.
Oh, and Steven Smith
Pope doesn't really count. In the Roman Catholic sense it's a title, like Knight or King, and means 'father' as an Anglo surname. Same with Bishop maybe.

Bernard Bosanquet

Hell of a spin attack. The Huguenot Afrikaners help a lot. I am not sure what a team without Afrikaners would look like, but I expect most of the others are descended from Huguenots anyway so you can’t leave them out.
