4th March 2013

Geoff Boycott last played a first class match at 45 years of age

Stop complaining about Misbah's age

Gooch played at 41 for England
Imran Khan played at 39
The oldest player to play for Pakistan was 47 at last appearance

Mark Ramprakash retired from first class recently just shy of his 43th birthday

Sanath played his last game at 41 for Sri Lanka.

Brad Hogg played for Australia at 41 in World T20

Shane Warne has been playing in the BBL at 43

The difference in age between Misbah and Afridi/Razzaq/Ajmal/Younis is very small. Unlike Misbah, the rest have unreliable ages. The ones who come from an academic background like Misbah usually have accurate ones.

Misbah is turning 39 soon, but he is a batsman and not a wicket keeper or fast bowler, making age less of an issue. Get over it. If he does play the 2015 World Cup, he will only be 40 in February/March 2015. I wouldn't put it past him.
