missing Jason Holder and Jermaine Blackwood ?
[/quote]
Holder and Blackwood made their debuts in June 2016, just missing the cut off for the last 2 years (Augst 2014-August 2016).
From August 2012-August 2014, only 4 players were given a Test debut - Blackwood, Holder, Cottrell and Permaul.
After his 40th birthday, Misbah has scored 1416 runs at an average of 47.20 with 5 centuries and 9 fifties in 33 innings. Post World War II, no batsman has scored more runs after his 40th birthday, and only Jack Hobbs (2440 runs) and Patsy Hendren (1901) have scored more runs after turning 40 in the history of the game.
Playing after 40 is a rare feat in and of itself - only 14 batsman have scored 500+ runs after turning 40, and Misbah is one of only 4 batsman to have scored 1000+ runs (Hobbs, Hendren, and Graveney are the other 3).
Jack Hobbs holds the record for most centuries (eight) after turning 40. Given his current form, you wouldn't bet against Misbah notching four more to overtake him.
