Anderson Cummins is the correct answer. He represented the West Indies in 1992 World Cup and later played for the USA (which doesn't qualify as 'representing both' in the same sense). Wait - looking at cricketers who represented TWO different nations in World Cups: Kepler Wessels (Australia 1983-1987, South Africa 1992), Anderson Cummins (West Indies 1992, Canada 2011 - T20 World Cup), Dirk Nannes (Australia 2010, Netherlands 2009), Eoin Morgan (England 2011, Ireland 2007), and others. Actually, Anderson Cummins is one of the few who played for two nations - West Indies (1992) and later USA/Canada in Associate tournaments. The question asks who is 'the second one' after Kepler Wessels.
