5 successful cricketers who made their Test debut after the age of 30

#4. Ryan Harris:

Ryan Harris picked up 113 wickets in 27 Test matches

Ryan Harris made his Test debut at the age of 31 against New Zealand in 2010. Harris, who announced his retirement from international cricket at the beginning of the 2015 Ashes, was troubled with injuries more often than not in his 5-year international career. An ankle injury, a chronic knee injury, a hamstring injury and a shoulder injury, Harris had seen it all.

In a career of 27 Test matches, Harris bagged 113 wickets at an average of 23.52. Harris had his golden period in the year 2013 when he was the pick of the Australian bowlers in the twin Ashes. In the 2013 Ashes in England, Harris was the Australian player of the series for his 24 wickets at an average of 19.58. He followed it up with another 22 wickets at an almost similar average when Australia regained the Ashes after whitewashing the England 5-0 in the Aussie summer of 2013-2014 in Australia.

Harris was a true fighter and his never-say-die attitude will be an example for future cricketers. If not for he injuries, Harris could have gone down as one of the greatest Australian bowlers of all time.
