4 cricketers aged above 30 who debuted in 2022 and have done well so far

Usually, in the game of cricket, players above 30 years of age start to get fewer opportunities, especially if they are in the early part of their careers. However, the trend is changing right now. On that note, in this article, we take a look at four cricketers aged above 30 who debuted in 2022 and have done well so far.

In recent years, many teams have had debutantes close to 30 finding success. For instance, the likes of Suryakumar Yadav and T Natarajan made their debut for India when they were close to 30. Both had fantastic starts and SKY is arguably the best T20 batter in the country right now. Similarly, there have been other players who are on the same route in 2022. We take a look at their names in the below headings:

1) Prabath Jayasuriya (Sri Lanka Test Debut) - 30 Years

Prabath made his ODI debut back in 2018. However, he donned the whites only this year and it has been a stunning career so far. In 3 matches, he has picked 29 wickets and has influenced games in such a way that Sri Lanka has won the games. There is an expectation that he could turn out to be a brilliant spinner like Rangana Herath, who also started doing well at around the same time.

2) Richard Gleeson (England) - 34 Years

Richard Gleeson is one of the cricketers aged above 30 who debuted in 2022 and has done well so far. He was almost close to retiring from the game but Gleeson impressed in the India series by collecting a few wickets. With this form, he could play in some important games for England in this year.

3) Michael Bracewell (New Zealand) - 31 Years

Cousin of Doug Bracewell, Michael is off to a flier in his international career. In 2022, he made his debut in all three formats of the game and has already left an impression with the bat and the ball. In fact, the all-rounder has won a few games on his own for the Kiwis, which is brilliant considering he made his debut only this year.

4) Dane Cleaver (New Zealand) - 30 Years

Dane Cleaver is also one of the cricketers aged above 30 who debuted in 2022 and has done well so far. A wicket-keeper batter, Dane Cleaver was a part of the U19 World Cup in 2010. He did not get chances for a long time but after doing well domestically recently, he got a chance with the Kiwis. He has made good use of the opportunity with a few vital knocks. Going forward, if he continues with this momentum, he could cement a place in the New Zealand XI.
