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

#2. Saeed Ajmal:

Saeed Ajmal was the highest wicket taker in Tests in 2011 with 50 wickets

Saeed Ajmal, after spending years in the domestic arena, finally made his Test debut at the age of 32 and immediately made an impact in international cricket. Ajmal was the highest wicket taker in the 2011 season with 50 Test wickets.

In 35 Tests, Ajmal has bagged 178 wickets at an average of 28.10 with 10 five wicket hauls in an innings and 4 ten wicket hauls in a match.

Ajmal was a match winner in ODIs too for Pakistan. In 113 ODIs, Ajmal bagged 182 wickets at an average of 22. 72. Ajmal, with his variations was a nightmare for most batsmen especially on slow wickets in the sub continent.

He was banned in 2014 for a suspect bowling action which was subsequently cleared. Ajmal was never the same bowler after his modified action, and played his last international match for Pakistan in 2015.
