Who are the youngest and oldest players to taste World Cup victory? asked Azweer from India
Pakistan's captain Imran Khan was 39 years and four months old when he held the World Cup aloft in Melbourne in 1992 - but he wasn't quite the oldest to get a winner's medal: Rohan Kanhai was two months older when West Indies won the first World Cup final in 1975. Both Kanhai and Imran were playing in their last international matches. The youngest World Cup winner was Aaqib Javed, who was only 19 when Pakistan won in 1992. The second- and third-youngest also came from that match: Moin Khan was 20, and Mushtaq Ahmed 21. The youngest player to appear in any World Cup match is Canada's Nitish Kumar, who was 16 in 2011; the oldest was 47-year-old Nolan Clarke of Netherlands in 1996.
