5 players who made their Test debut after a long wait 

#2 Michael Hussey

Mike Hussey: Prolific, consistent and determined

Famously known as the 'Mr. Cricket', Michael Hussey is one of the most stylish, compact and determined cricketers of all time. The Australian batsman averaged 51.52 in 137 Test innings and scored more than 11,000 international runs.

Equally staggering are his numbers in first-class cricket where he delivered impressive performances since his early days. However, the Australian national team of that era was already filled with stalwarts who looked invincible in international cricket. Hence, there was no place for the left-hand batsman in the national team.

But Hussey kept on piling runs in first-class cricket and was finally rewarded in 2005 with a Test debut for his consistency in first-class games. The debut arrived after 175 first-class games and then began Hussey's unbelievable run in international cricket. In his first nine innings, he produced three hundreds and cemented his place in the national team.

He served Australia till 2013 and ended his career as one of the most prolific and consistent middle-order batsmen in Test cricket.
