5 oldest batsmen to score their maiden T20I fifty

Trent Johnston (39 y 215 d)

Bald and tall, “Chicken Dance” Trent Johnston served Ireland cricket from 2006-2013, leading them with intent during their participation in the 2007 World Cup (not to forget the memorable win against Zimbabwe). A nagging fast bowler brought up in Australia, Johnston could use the long handle to good effect whenever the situation asked.

In his final T20I innings, he managed to score a rapid 62, peppered with five fours and four sixes, to help Ireland steamroll Afghanistan in the final of the ICC World T20 qualifiers. If that wasn’t enough, he came back to snap three wickets, going home with the Man of the Match trophy by his side.
