James Hildreth

Ever since James Hildreth made his debut first-class appearance for Somerset in 2003, he has been a prolific run-scorer for the county. The right-handed batsman has been a success in the English domestic circuit in all formats of the sport.

At the age of 33, Hildreth has already scored over 15,000 runs in 234 first-class games with 41 hundreds and 68 half-centuries to show for his efforts. In his List A career, the experienced campaigner is inching towards the 5000 run mark.

In T20s, he has nearly 3000 runs with a top-score of 107 not out against Glamorgan in 2012. Even with loads of runs and experience, he is yet to represent England in international cricket.
