Top 5 current players with the longest ODI careers

#4 Hamilton Masakadza (16 years)

Hamilton Masakadza

The colossal figure of Zimbabwean cricket, Hamilton Masakadza is an attacking batsman who has managed to stay in the Zimbabwean team even with the changing times.

The 34-year-old has played just under 200 games but made his debut back in 2001 against South Africa. At one point, he held the record for the youngest to score a Test century on debut, but was soon overtaken by Bangladesh's Mohammad Ashraful.

He did not play Test cricket for six years between 2005 and 2011 but continued to show his prowess in ODI cricket, amassing over 5000 runs in the format. His career-best score of an unbeaten 178 is the second highest by a Zimbabwean, behind Charles Coventry's 194.
