In this quiz, you are asked to name the men who have played Test cricket in their forties since 1980.
In July 2024, less than a month before his 42nd birthday, England’s most-capped Test cricketer retired with the most wickets among fast bowlers. Since 1980, he was the 17th man to play Test cricket after his 40th birthday.
The list consists of, among others, an Indian who finished with the most runs in the history of Test cricket; a South African who returned to Test cricket after more than two decades to play for Zimbabwe; an ageless English wicketkeeper; a Pakistani captain who still holds the record for the fastest Test fifty; a relentless run-amasser from the West Indies; and one of Sri Lanka’s early captains.
You’ve got four minutes on the clock to name them all, good luck!
