World’s tallest cricketer Mohammad Irfan on Sunday also became the oldest fast bowler to play for Pakistan since Imran Khan, Times of India reported.
Irfan, 37, appeared in the rain-marred first T20I against Australia in Sydney today when he conceded 31 runs in just two overs.
Based on that performance though, it is unlikely though that he’d be able to play as long was Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was 39 when he led Pakistan to their sole 50-over World Cup win in 1992.
Contrary to popular belief, the oldest cricketer ever to represent Pakistan is not Misbah-ul-Haq (retired at age 42 in 2017) but a certain someone named Miran Bakhsh, who was 47 when he made his Test debut for Pakistan against India in January 1955.
Bakhsh was perhaps way past his prime though as he played the second and final Test of his career the next month and wasn’t picked again.
