List of players with most 50 plus scores in ODIs after the age of 38: As they sayage is just a number and some of the players prove this correct. Some bloom late and play until they are made to leave or some are so good that they are made to stay on despite being past their prime. And then there are these gentleman who aged like a fine wine which gets better with age. Here are the players who have made most scored of 50 or more after they turned 38. 5- Clive Lloyd (West Indies) Clive Lloyd made 5 50+ scores.(Photo Source: ICC) Former West Indian Captain Clive Lloyd played well into his 30s for West Indies.

He retired from cricket at the age of 40 after playing 100 tests for England. 6- Sunil Dhaniram (Canada) Canada’s Sunil Dhaniram scored 6 50 plus scores after the age of 38.

(Photo Source: BCCI) Tillakaratne Dilshan is probably going on to play for New Zealand for a couple of years more to lend the experience it needs after Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene retire. Dilshan has made 10 scores of 50 or more including the 2 centuries in the ongoing 2015 World Cup. 23- Misbah-ul-Haq (Pakistan) Misbah-ul-Haq has 23 scores of 50+ in ODIs after turning 38, but still no century. (Photo Source:ICC) Misbah is 40 years old and has been playing for Pakistan since 2001. He was dropped from the team in 2002 and recalled in 2007, since then he has been the backbone of the Pakistani team. Misbah has never made a hundred in ODIs, but he has 23 scores of 50 or more after he turned 38 years old. With no signs of him retiring after the World Cup, we can expect more scores including a hundred that he so much deserves in coming games. *All stats are updated till 13th March 2015.
