I don't know if I can trawl through numerous scorecards to find out. I just took an educated punt on Traicos, knowing he was old by the time he debuted for the then new to test cricket Zimbabwe.

Yeah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami were born in 1990 and both played in Tendulkar's last test.
I'm only younger than you in terms of account life, I'm a tad older in actual. 34.

You beat me to it, was just checking his final Test too.
I wonder if he ever had 3 born after his debut in the same team....

Chanderpaul is another as he was a teenager on debut.

Whatever it takes!!!
England going with an expected side. Hope India does the same.
Most of the Windies side during the tail end of his career were born late 80s to early 90s

Probably his last summer.
I see the next line up as Robinson, Woakes, Archer, Stokes
There are always injuries.
Waiting...... Wood, Tongue, Potts, Stone, Atkinson, Mahmood, Lawes, Turner, Carse...

Would love to see England jump out to a 2-0 lead and blow the series wide open but it's hard not to see India coming back strongly.
Last time England won the first test in India it cast an evil spell over them.
India got mad, and the pitches became ugly. Very very ugly indeed.
The next 3 tests were a complete obliteration and they couldn't score a run, in one test not making 200 over the combined innings.

This is harder than I thought. I was thinking Shahid Afridi, but so far can't find anyone young enough.

I'll be sent out to pasture long before you. It's a wonder CW mods tolerate someone of my vintage.

India were at near enough full strength in that series, England were coming off the back of a Sri Lanka Tour and were resting players from the Covid restrictions. That one Test you mention was also a pink ball farce.
Whilst the England spin attack is very inexperienced, the batting is far stronger now and not totally reliant on Root. India are clearly a shadow of that 2021 team.
I expect India to win, but this is far different to the last Tour and England won't be the pushovers they were then.

Yeah you're right and Bazball is a totally different kettle of fish.
One thing that won't change though as the tour goes deeper, is missing the home cookery more and more.
There aren't many nice roasts or Yorkshlre puddings to be found on tour.

Probably why they brought their own chef with them this time!!
Not the same team, but in Brian Close's last Test vs West Indies in 1976 WI had 6 players born after he debuted in July 1949
