ICC Twenty20 World Cup:  Zimbabwe v Hong Kong : News Photo — Ryan Campbell made his debut for Hong Kong at the age of 43

The wicket-keeper batsman initially started off his domestic career as a specialist batsman for Western Australia in the year 1995. With Adam Gilchrist being the first choice keeper, Ryan Campbell had to wait for his opportunity. Gilchrist’s elevation to the national side resulted in the management assigning wicket-keeping duties to Campbell.

An injury to Gilchrist in the 2002 series against New Zealand delivered Campbell his ODI debut, but with Gilchrist returning to the side soon enough, there were hardly any chances for Campbell in the national team.

In the year 2012, he moved to Hong Kong after being appointed as a player cum coach of the Kowloon Cricket Club. At the age of 43, he made his T20 debut for Hong Kong against Zimbabwe in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016, making him the oldest international debutant.
