#9 Flavian Aponso 43 years, 112 days
Born in Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka); Aponso moved to Netherlands after he was banned for playing in the rebel league in South Africa. He made his ODI debut for Netherlands during the 1996 World Cup against New Zealand, and retired at the conclusion of the tournament, after being a mainstay of Dutch batting for a number of years.
He made his debut in the same match as Nolan Clarke, who also features on this list. He featured in all the five matches that Netherlands played in the World Cup, scoring 120 runs at an average of 30 and a highest of 58. His strike rate however, wasn’t too impressive.
The left handed batsman, was also a handy off-break bowler, but during the World Cup in 1996, he could take only 2 wickets leaking 6.37 runs per over. He also once represented Sri Lanka against Tamil Nadu, when Sri Lanka hadn’t earned Test status.
