My guess would be Sanath Jayasuriya, unless retired. The oldest Cricketer still playing Test Cricket would be Sanath Jayasuriya - Made his debut in Test Matches On Feb 22, 1991 against New Zealand. Born on 30th June 1969. Made his one day debut in Dec 26, 1989 against Australia at Melbourne. Sachin Tendulakar, born on April 24, 1973 has made his test debut against Pakistan On Nov 15, 1989 and one day debut against Pakistan on Dec 18, 1989. He is still playing. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071006010348AA894TO Apr 12 09, 5:09 AM

Sorry guys I thought it was Murali until I thought of Bryce who pips him in age by 23 days. Bryce McGain (born 25 March 1972 in Mornington, Victoria) is a professional Australian cricketer and made his test debut in South Africa 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_McGain Apr 13 09, 5:43 PM
