I got the impression quite a lot of their players simply had long-term visas and qualify on residency grounds. That certainly happens in rugby, where you have a load of South Sea Islanders representing 6 nations sides, despite negligible other ties to the countries they represent. I shouldn't exclude the South African players representing other countries either.

Depends how long the residency period is, sometimes residency players can have deep roots and have a family in that country. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems as though the South Asian raised players in the USA team didn’t come over just to play cricket and got jobs, whereas the South Africans and New Zealanders came over specifically to play cricket and saw an opportunity which would have been lacking at home
oh that’s correct with at least Netravalkar. He is an IT engineer. Probably others in the same boat as him.
Just remembered there’s one player of South Asian heritage in that team for whom that’s not true, Nitish Kumar, previous job: captain of Canada!
It might be tied for second-fastest as I think Raza's came off 33 balls (which is two balls more than AB's ODI hundred against the West Indies).

They missed out on the last T20 World Cup because they rested some players and dropped a game to Uganda. Understandable that they're taking this cycle's qualifying tournament super seriously.
Only when Namibia can put out their best XI with them all fit at the same time. Seems a long time since we've seen that team take the field.
Don't know if this is true anymore. Weise has retired. They where at there best with him and smit both fit and bowling in t20.
Loftie-Eaton is a perfect replacement for Wiese and he's young but discipline appears to be an issue
