[Off-topic] Effects on a person's thinking when they change to another country in tender age

edited July 2013 in Miscellaneous
Hi

While i.was listening to cricket commentary during champions trophy, i heard Nasser Hussain trying to prove England are better fielding side than India. Actually Nasser was born as Indian and migrated to England. Does that have an impact on his trying to.prove England are always better than India? I have seen him trying to prove it many times. He wil not leave any chance to bash on Indians. Similarly there are few other cricketers who were born Indians but travelled to other countries in their early life and excelled as cricketera there but most of them play very well against India. Doea this have any psychological impact of playing against a nation which they left?

A general doubt that was bothering me from many days but i coldnt find the answer hence posting it here

    i am not directly adressing your query but heres something about the kids of expats
    the children of foreign service officers and other expats usually become what is called as third culture kids. they cannot identify with any one country. kind of like an identity crisis. just when they are about to selltle in a country, the language, the culture, norms, new friends they are moved to some completely different country. this gives them a culture shock. they dont have a home. the world is their home.
    I searched on this when i was considering IFS as a choice..turns out its not for me /:)
