Most Destructive Batsman in Onedayer!

I thionk there is a history with Pakistani players understating their age, Younis for one is older than 31 I reckon.

And Hasan Raza Test debut at 14, OK...

One thing that puzzles me...doesn't Waqar even know his real age? :alien384:

Yeah, cos there is no age bar in cricket, there is really no reason to falsify your age. So, maybe, they just don't know their real age or whatever.

 

[Rik]

Yeah but it still makes it so they break records unfairly!

 

[marc71178]

In some cases, I don't think they do actually know their own age - lack of records being kept at birth.

Makes it a bit difficult for things like the Under 19 World Cup!

I agree with u on Younis , even afridi is 2-3 years older than his official age BUT it wasn't the same case with Hasan Raza. The guy went through medical check up( basically its a bone scan) that confirmed that he was exactly 14 years of age at the time he got his test cap.
Majid Khan should actually have appologized to Hasan Raza coz he was the one who had came out in open saying that Hsan certainly wasn't 14 yrs of age.After the Medical report, the jerk just shut his mouth and never said a word!

If Cairns was more consistent & was less injury prone..there would be no contest.

If was Afridi's age was 16 when he made his debut then Parthiv Patel could have said that his age is 10 ))) LOL
