WPL 2024: 3 Oldest Cricketers to feature this season

The Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 is just days away from beginning on the 23^rd of February 2024 at the Chinnaswamy in Bangalore. The squads have been finalised and we are set to witness another historic tournament in this T20 franchise league. The best women cricketers will go head-to-head in this league and it will be a joy to watch for everyone. The last season had already witnessed some great performances from both the senior and young players who had featured in this tournament. There are big aspirations which all of us will be looking forward to in this upcoming league.

Players like Smriti Mandhana and Ashleigh Gardener will be the players to watch out for, with both of them still in their prime and will want to give their best performances in the tournament. But we should not forget that this is not only about the young blood as there are also some experienced talents that will feature in the league as well. It will be interesting to see what these players have in store even after their retirement from the game. They will most likely feature in the team due to their experience and ability to handle pressure situations.

Even though they might not be in their prime and they are most likely at the end of their career in the sport, these players still have a never-say-side attitude which they have had during their entire career. They are still big players with big aspirations and we will be looking forward to see them perform and even show the upcoming youngsters why they used to be the ones ruling the game as well. This might be just the second season of the WPL, but the hype and anticipation are still on a high and we can’t wait to see our favourite cricketers play once again in a packed crowd.

3. Harmanpreet Kaur- 34 years and 333 days

Harmanpreet Kaur is one of the most talented all-rounders in the Indian Women’s cricket team right now and has had a great career so far. She has not only been a great skipper to the national side but has also led the Mumbai Indians women to victory in the inaugural season as well. Kaur will once again be leading the side in this edition as not only their skipper but also as the oldest and most experienced player in the squad as well. At 34 years and 333 days, she is the oldest Indian player to feature in this league.

2. Shabnim Ismail- 35 years and 122 days

There is no doubt that Shabnim Ismail is still one of the best players in South Africa and will show her class in this league as well. With 123 wickets in T20 internationals, there is no doubt that she has the experience to successfully go through any batting lineup even at the age of 35. Ismail is still considered one of the best pacers for South Africa and she will still be a dangerous bowler to face with both the old and the new ball. It will be interesting to see what Ismail has in store as she will be representing the defending champions this season.

1. Erin Burns- 35 years and 227 days

Erin Burns might not have played a lot of international cricket but has been part of the T20 circuit for a long time. She has played over 150 T20s in her career and has over 2500 runs and 77 wickets, making her an important all-round option for the Royal Challengers Bangalore women going into the league. She might not have played a lot of games in the WPL last season, but she will be looking forward to this upcoming season under the leadership of Smriti Mandhana. Burns will want to play more matches this season and will want to prove herself on the stage and help the team in their second season.
