Wouldn’t Be A Surprise If Nathan Lyon Plays Into His 40s, Says Mark Taylor
Nathan Lyon: Former Australia captain Mark Taylor said he is confident veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon could play Test cricket into his 40s, adding that it shouldn’t be a surprise if the same happens in future.
In the first Test at Perth against Pakistan, Lyon, who made his Test debut in 2011, became the third Australian and eighth bowler overall to take more than 500 Test wickets. Lyon had previously talked about his wish to continue till 2027 Ashes in England, and by then he will be 39.
"That wouldn't surprise me to be totally honest because he's still very keen and I spoke to him only recently and he talked about maybe going back to England. That's 2027, the best part of three and a half years away.”
