The oldest player to feature in the T20 World Cup is Ryan Cambpell, who represented Hong Kong at the age of 44 in the 2016 edition.
Former Aussie left-arm wrist-spinner Brad Hogg is at third spot. The multiple-time World Cup winner represented the Men in Green and Gold in the 2014 WC at the age of 43 years and 34 days.
