Ten players who played their first and last Test against the same team

#3 Brian Lara (West Indies)

Lara holds the record for the highest individual score in Test cricket history

The world-record holder for the highest individual score in Test cricket as well as first-class cricket, Brian Charles Lara made his Test debut against Pakistan at Lahore in 1990 but had to wait for more than a year before playing his next match against South Africa.

Lara made his first big impact in his fifth Test match, with a splendid knock of 277 against Australia at Sydney which made the world take notice of the immensely talented West Indian who would go on to be regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the game.

With very little support from his teammates, Lara often ended up on the losing side despite his best efforts but there were times when Lara battled the odds to single-handedly lead his side to victory, like his unbeaten knock of 153 against Australia in Bridgetown, Barbados in 1999 which was rated by Wisden as the second best batting performance in the history of Test cricket.

Lara ended his Test career on a high, scoring a century and a double century in his final three Tests against Pakistan, finishing just 47 runs short of the 12000-run mark in Test cricket with 34 hundreds.
