During the recent Test match between New Zealand and Zimbabwe, some of the most experienced players made their appearances. Craig Ervine (39 years 355 days), Taylor himself (39 years 184 days), Sikandar Raza (39 years 107 days), and Sean Williams (38 years 317 days), all four turning out for Zimbabwe, currently hold the distinction of being the oldest active Test cricketers (Pic: X/@ICC)
