Cricket's Globalization: Moises Henriques and Portugal's Pursuit of Glory Moises Henriques, an Australian cricketer turned Portuguese captain, has been making headlines for his decision to switch allegiances.
He is now chasing "cricket nirvana" – qualifying for the men's T20 World Cup with Portugal. This development raises questions about the globalization of cricket and emerging nations' aspirations.
Henriques was born on the island of Madeira but moved to Australia at a young age, where he earned four Test caps before deciding to pursue opportunities abroad.
