Zimbabwean cricketer Craig Ervine has made history at the age of 41 by becoming the third-oldest Test batsman to score a double century, with an unbeaten 206 off 279 balls against Afghanistan in the first Test at Sharjah. This remarkable achievement makes Ervine only the fifth Zimbabwean to reach this milestone and marks Zimbabwe as the first team to score over 500 runs in both innings of a Test match.
At 41, Ervine joins an elite group of cricketers, including South Africa's EAB Rowan and England's Jack Hobbs, who achieved the feat at slightly older ages.
