#8 Mark Butcher [England]

Battling a career that was plagued by injuries and inconsistencies, Mark Butcher managed to play 71 tests and 13 T20Is for England. Coming into prominence in 1997 after a successful domestic season, Butcher started off well with two good centuries against South Africa and Australia.

However, his form dipped on and he lost his place to better batsmen. In 2001, he scripted a comeback with a whirlwind century against Australia that set a path to his constant presence in the squad that bolstered his confidence as he milked runs at will in the 2002 season.

After peaks and crests in the following years, Butcher was named the captain of the Surrey domestic team in 2005 but continuous injuries spelled the end of his career at the topmost level, and the player hung up his boots in 2009.
