5. Nilakshika Silva (Sri Lanka) - 36y 258d
At the age of 36 years and 258 days, Nilakshika Silva is one of the most experienced players in the Sri Lankan squad for the Women's T20 World Cup. The right-handed batter has scored 1,217 runs from 114 matches and is currently her nation's third-highest run-scorer in international T20s. She has also taken 14 wickets for Sri Lanka in the shortest format of the game.
Despite her international exposure, Silva has not had many match-winning contributions for the Lankan outfit heading into the T20 World Cup, which could be a cause for concern for her side.
