Players out of Retirement

Postby The Professor » Tue Nov 03, 2015 8:34 pm

After the news that, at age 50, Teddy Sheringham has come out of retirement....what player for national or domestic team do you think could come out of retirement and still have an effect ....probably in T20 more than longer forms of the game.
