The Youngest and oldest players to be picked as one of Wisden's Five Cricketers of the Year

The annual Wisden accolade, which started in way back 1889, is the oldest individual award in cricket, and perhaps in any sport. Pakistan Mushtaq Mohammad is the youngest player to be picked as one of the Five Cricketers of the Year when he was only 19 when chosen in 1963 for his feats on Pakistan's tour of England the previous year.
