Solution: Denote the teams by their initials i.e. Aus, NZ, Ind, Pak, SL, Eng, Wl, SA.
Number the seats as 1-8 in clockwise order, such that the captain of Sri Lanka is on seat 1.
Since P is third to the left of the SL captain, the arrangement is: 
T and W cannot be neighbours of P and are not the captain of SL.
Based on the above statements, T and W cannot be on seats 1, 3, 4 or 5. 
There are two people between T and W.
For T = 2, W = 5 (not possible) or 7 (possible) For T = 6, W = 3 (not possible) or 1 (not possible) For T = 7, W = 4 (not possible) or 2 (possible) For T = 8, W = 3 (not possible) or 5 (not possible) Hence, T and W are on seats 2 and 7, in no specific order, as under: 
The captain of SA is second to the right of S while there is one person between S and the Indian captain.
Hence, the relative arrangement of these three people is: Ind __S __ SA Also, S is not the captain of SL and P is not the captain of SA. Finally, S is not an immediate neighbour of P. Based on the three conditions above, the only possible place for S is on seat 8. Hence, the captains of Ind and SA are on seats 2 and 6 respectively.
The Aus captain is third to the left of V, but is not next to the SL captain.
This is only possible when the Aus captain is P and V is the SL captain.
Since the captains of NZ and Pak are next to each other, they can only be on seats 7 and 8 (where T/W and S) are sitting.
Since S is not the captain of NZ, S is the captain of Pak. 
There is one person between Q and the captain of England, who is an immediate neighbour of X.
Based on the above arrangement, Q has to be on seat 3, the captain of England on seat 5 and X has to be the captain of SA.
Hence, Q is the captain of Wl and R is the captain of Eng.
Since W and Q are not immediate neighbours of each other, T is the captain of Ind and W is the captain of NZ.
Hence, the final arrangement is:  
 
Thus, starting from T and going anticlockwise, there are four people (V, S, W, X) between T and the captain of England (R).
Hence, option 4.

Analysis:
Given the seating arrangement and the conditions provided, we need to determine the number of people sitting between T and the captain of England when counting anti-clockwise.

1. Starting point:
- T is the starting point for counting anti-clockwise.

2. Position of the captain of England:
- Q is one seat to the right of the captain of England.
- X is an immediate neighbour of the captain of England.

3. Position of T and W:
- T and W have two people sitting between them.
- T and W are not immediate neighbours of P.

4. Position of S:
- S is second to the right of the captain of South Africa.
- S is not an immediate neighbour of P or the captain of Sri Lanka.

5. Position of P and Sri Lankan captain:
- P is third to the left of the Sri Lankan captain.
- The captains of Australia and Sri Lanka are not immediate neighbours.

6. Position of the Indian captain:
- Only one person sits between S and the Indian captain.

Calculating the number of people between T and the captain of England:
- T -> S -> Indian captain -> P -> Sri Lankan captain -> Australian captain -> V -> England captain (Q)
- From T to Q, there are 4 people (S, Indian captain, P, and Sri Lankan captain).

Therefore, when counting anti-clockwise from T, there are four people sitting between T and the captain of England. Hence, the correct answer is option (d) Four.
