Better yet; how can I find out the ages of everyone on the team? Doesn’t cricket allow pretty old players, in relation to other pro sports.

The oldest player currently playing for England is the captain, Michael Vaughan. His age, as of 7th July 2008, is 33 years and 252 days.http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/c…
All England contracted players are listed on this page:http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/c…
For a list of the oldest living Test players (all countries, but it tells you where they are from, so it is easy to identify the English) see this link:http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/content/rec…

As you will see from the final link, there used to be players who played Test cricket into their 50′s, Wilfred Rhodes representing England at the age of 52 years and 165 days.
However, it is still rare to see anyone past the age of 40 representing his country at cricket.
In the England Test Team Michael Vaughan, 33 years, is the oldest player.
In the ODI Team Darren Maddy and Paul Collingwood with the age of 34 years and 32 years respectively are the oldest players.
To know the ages of all other players in the England Team, please check the following link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_cri…
England are quite young atm – Vaughan is the eldest at 33.
The Aussie team that won the last Ashes were 37, 37, 36, 36, 35… with only one player, Michael Clarke under 30 at all.
Alec Stewart played for England until he was 40. Shaun Udal (39) Mark Ramprakash (37) and Graeme Hick (42) has been three of the best players in this years competitions.
So, yes, older than a lot of sports. A lot of International cricketers play until 38 or so.
Darren Maddy
Michael Vaughan, 33 years!
I’ll guess Darren Maddy.
