India fast bowler Ashish Nehra is expected to be back in action when he would take the centre stage against Australia in upcoming three-match T20I series at home. The left-arm bowler played for India in a T20I against England in February this year in Bangalore. Nehra’s age (38 years) has been a point of discussion and debate for many but his economy of 7.75 certainly makes him a decent pick in the shortest format. But the left-armer isn’t the oldest to take the field for his respective nation at a late age.
