Scoring a century in international cricket is the main goal of every batsman.

However, not all batsmen are able to achieve this feat as the bowlers are of high quality and even if it is an ordinary bowling attack, the batsman needs to concentrate well to score a century.

While a lot of players have represented only one country at the international level, here is a list of six such batsmen who not only played for two different countries but also scored a century each for both the countries in international cricket.

1. Joe Burns scored centuries for Australia and Italy
