In this quiz, you have to name all the men to have scored 500 runs and taken 25 wickets in each of the three formats at the international level.

There are precious few cricketers who have managed this feat – just 14 cricketers in all. Among these 14, four nationalities are represented multiple times, with one country producing three of them.

Five of the players on this list bowl(ed) pace, and nine bowl(ed) spin. Four of them have managed to achieve the even rarer feat of scoring 1,000 runs and taking 50 wickets in each format.

The years of their first as well as most recent international match are given, and you have three minutes' time. Can you name all 14?

*All figures are correct as of September 8, 2024.
