The best 28-year olds in International cricket at present

Every year, the world welcomes a new crop of geniuses, geniuses in their own rights – virtuosos, wizkids, and brainiacs. They grow up to dominate their respective fields, thus posing as a role model for youngsters in every walk of life. And it is often that we see players from the same age group do well at the international stage.

1988, in particular, presented us with a sparkling bunch of future cricketing role models. These 28-year olds are currently tasting success after having rapidly risen up from a grassroots level. From being proud representatives of their countries to being ambassadors of the gentleman’s game, they possess the accolades that matter the most in professional cricket. CricTracker takes a look at some of the most successful cricketers who are currently on the right side of 30.

1. Tamim Iqbal (Born March 20, 1989)

Tamim Iqbal has consistently been a pillar of hope for Bangladesh at the opening slot. His fearless brand of batting allows him to score runs freely, often painting a colourful wagon wheel. The aggressive left-handed batsman is one of Bangladesh’s most experienced and revered cricketers. He has 10886 international runs in his account and is going strong to pile on bigger numbers.

While displaying elegance and class in his strokeplay, Tamim can also smack the ball a fair distance on occasions. Along with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal has revitalized Bangladeshi cricket – the Tigers are not a team to be trifled with anymore.
