Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar, who took five
wickets in Pakistan's victory over South Africa in Abu Dhabi earlier this
month, was 34 years 308 days old at the start of his first match. Only one
Pakistani has made his overall Test debut when older: when off spinner Miran
Bakhsh was 47 when he played in two matches of their first home series, against
India in 1954-55. Amir Elahi was 44 when he took part in Pakistan's very first
Test, against India in Delhi in October 1952, but he had previously played a
Test for India in Australia in 1947-48. And Gul Mohammad celebrated his 35th
birthday during his only Test for Pakistan against Australia in Karachi in
1956-57 after previously winning eight caps for India. Only 11 more players,
including current squad players Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Irfan, have made their
Test debuts for Pakistan after turning 30.
