Quiz! Every wicketkeeper to open batting in men’s Test cricket since 2000

by Wisden Staff 4 minute play

In this quiz, you have to name all 19 designated wicketkeepers who have opened batting in men’s Test matches between 2000 and October 10, 2022. You have four minutes.

Wicketkeeping in Test cricket involves – among other things – 540 squats if your side is all day, fielding. It is as physically demanding as any role, but gets seldom acknowledged as much as the other disciplines. To go through all the rigour and then open batting sounds almost superhuman, yet 19 have done in men’s Test matches since 2000.

Can you name each of them in four minutes?
