Only missed one Test all career, when he was dropped for playing an 'irresponsible' shot against England in the 84-85 series. Amazing for a pace bowler to never once be unavailable in a career lasting over a decade and a half.Its easy to forget how great Kapil is and his achievements playing so many tests in that era for India. Suffers in retrospect for playing alongside Imran, Botham, Hadlee.
Forever if he keeps being rested and chooses his tours.How long for Anderson to clock in another 17 tests? I'll be pissed if he hangs it up without going past Tendulkar.

I don't think Archer will play 56 Tests. I had to look up how many he has played - 13. I would say 20 Tests. Probably move on to white ball cricket and keep his speeds up.The Jofra predictions…oof! With 3 years’ hindsight I’m going to say 16, we’ll almost certainly pick him next winter and then he’ll disappear again
I see Leach has played exactly 38 as of now.Glenn Phillips - 21
Shimron Hetmyer - 64
Kusal Mendis - 87
Travis Head - 46
Zubayr Hamza - 46
Shai Hope - 54
Axar Patel - 29
Keemo Paul - 31
Jofra Archer - 56
Jack Leach - 38
Naseem Shah - 81

Last Test Nov 2021 but he hasn't officially retired and he plays in the IPL https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...uper-giants-64th-match-1426302/full-scorecardDoes Sharma really count as still playing at this point?
iirc he’s said he wasn’t in international shape and didn’t want to get back into it either.Last Test Nov 2021 but he hasn't officially retired and he plays in the IPL https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...uper-giants-64th-match-1426302/full-scorecard
