there was a coloured guy who played for WA a couple of years back, last name was gilles or close to that. true there aren't many coloured guys in the state teams, but remember there are only 6 teams, england has a lot more than 6 teams to fill.
also in the last couple of years the australian stat sides have been chasing coloured players, south australia had younis khan and tanvir last season and they've been chasing some of the sri lankan's for the t20s (murali, malinga).
also recently there was a highly rated guy playing in the aussie u19 side. colour shouldn't matter, teams should just field the best team they can. if people are being kept out of teams just because of their colour then i think that's a problem, but if someone else is just better then there shouldn't be an issue imo.
