Wiki says lots about Devon Malcolm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devon_Malcolm , here’s a brief extract:
“Malcolm was one of England's few genuinely fast bowlers of the 1990s. Born in Kingston, Jamaica,[4] he settled in England, making his first-class debut for Derbyshire in 1984, and qualifying to play for England in 1987.
He remained a highly effective bowler in county cricket, however, and in 1998 Malcolm moved to play for Northamptonshire. Two years later he moved again, this time to Leicestershire, for whom he played his final first-class match in 2003. In his final season Malcolm claimed over 60 wickets and achieved one 10-wicket haul.[5] He passed 1,000 first-class wickets with Leicestershire.[6]
Having retired from the first-class game, Malcolm continued to play for Brixworth Cricket Club, in the Northamptonshire Cricket League Premier Division, and also played for Suffolk in the Minor Counties Championship.”
