Meet the Old Guns in the vibrant format of the game CRICKET.

New Delhi: The fifth edition of ICC world t20 is going to start within a week's time. The general notion or belief is that the shortest form of the game also requires young legs to be quick in the field. However this belief seems to be challenged by some of the old guns of the game. Let's take a look at some of these old players who will be rubbing shoulders with young players. The number one ranked ODI team seems to have faith in their old players. This is the reason why the team had decided to field some of the old turks in the shortest format of the game. Brad Hogg who at the age of forty three is perhaps the oldest player playing in the tournament. He made his T20 debut in the year 2006 against Australia at Johanneburg. Till date he has played twelve T20 matches in which he had claimed five wickets. Another Aussie named Brad Hodge is also an exciting T20 player who is an all rounder. He can anchor the innings as well as can break free as and when required. He played his first T20 at a neutral venue in Capetown against Zimbabwe in the year 2007. The veteran wicketkeeper of the Australian team will also feature in the T20 world cup where he at the age of thirty six will be behind the stumps. He made his ODI debit in the year 2006 against South Africa at Brisbane. The Asian Champions have also reposed their faith on the senior players as it is the second team after Australia to have three players who are more than an age of thirty five. The dashing opener and the inventor of the ‘dil scoop' shot Tilekratne Dilshan at the age of thirty seven will continue to entertain the spectators with his shots and take his team to victory. He made his debut in the year 2006 against England at Southampton. The ever reliable Sri Lankan veteran will be part of the team and will try to repeat his Asia Cup heroics in the shortest format of the game. He made his t20 debut against England at Southampton in the year 2006. Mahela Jayawardene , another veteran of the game will be eyeing to justify his selection in the team with some good innings at the top.At the age of thirty six , he can play the trademark cricketing shots along with the innovative shots which have become an integral part in the shortest format of the game. The finalist of the Asia Cup 2014 has reposed their faith on Saeed Ajmal aged thirty six who is touted as one of the greatest off spinner that the team has produced after Saqlain Mushtaq. He will be playing to take his team to the top as this may be the last time he will be playing in a major tournament.
