5 players from the 1990s who are still playing international cricket

Harbhajan Singh

In 2001, Harbhajan Singh became the first Indian to take a hat-trick.

India’s most successful off-spinner, who recently turned 36, might not be a key member of the Indian team currently, but has been their trump card on many important occasions with the ball. He last played Tests and ODIs for India in 2015, but was part of the limited overs squad earlier this year, making irregular appearances in the T20 team. The gates are not completely shut for him in ODIs, but the emergence of Ravi Ashwin as the frontline spinner in the last few years has made him lose his foothold in the Indian line-up.

The first Indian to take a hat-trick in Tests, “Bhajji” made his Test and ODI debut in the space of one month in 1998. Debuting in Tests against Australia, he picked up two wickets in India’s loss against Australia at Bangalore. He bowled a tidy spell in his first ODI against New Zealand and picked up the wicket of Matt Horne.

Overall, Harbhajan Singh has 417 Test and 269 ODI wickets under his belt.Although he last played a match for India in March 2016, there is always room for his recall, if the comebacks of Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina are anything to go by.
