This is a motley crew. At the top is a titan of first-class cricket, who made his Test debut in the 1890s and continued until the 1930s. His was one of several Test careers interrupted by any of the two World Wars. There are an Australian and an Englishman who returned from retirement when their teams were in dire straits. And a cricketer who played for South Africa before their apartheid ban and for Zimbabwe more than 22 years later.
