Top 5 players who have played the most matches in cricket

#3 Kumar Sangakkara (590 Matches) (Sri Lanka)

Sangakkara is Sri Lanka's highest run scorer.

Sangakkara is an extremely underrated and underappreciated batsman. He started his career in 2000 and went onto play till 2015. He played at a time when there were a lot of great batsmen and that's why many of his records have gone unnoticed.

Not only was he a great player but also a great captain and a wicket-keeper. He has 678 dismissals to his name making him the 4th best keeper ever.

Stats: Kumar Sangakkara is the 2nd highest run scorer in cricket with 28016 runs in 590 matches. Further, he has had a phenomenal career average of 46.77.

Spoiler Alert: Having already had 2 Sri Lankan's on the list, we aren't still done with them.
