The latest one to join the list is India’s former cricketer Mohammad Kaif.

The spinner has last played a Test match against Sri Lanka in 2015. Whereas he played his last One Day International against South Africa in the same year. Harbhajan’s final game for team India was a T20I against UAE in the 2016 Asia Cup.
