Another bowler on this list, Miran Bakhsh is the only post-war cricketer on this list. The off-spinner made his debut in 1955 at the age of 47 years. The Pakistani bowler ended up just playing two tests but was a well-known personality because of this particular feat. He continued playing until 1958-59 when he retired at the age of 51. He played just 3 Tests for Australia, picking up 14 wickets at 31.71.
