Could You Identify These Cricket Players?
These are the players we can name as the cricketers we should all know, at least by their uniforms.
Even the most passionate cricket fan can’t know all the great players of their generation, let alone all the great players of all time.
It is an accomplishment to remember even a bit of them and knows some of the great feats they performed on the pitch.
Think hard about your cricket knowledge. Have you studied? How well do you know the men and women who play perhaps the most gentle game of them all?
It is time to test your visual knowledge, so clear up the lenses of your glasses and settle in. Let us begin!
Instead of asking you to recall a list of players, in this quiz, you have to guess the cricketer from the picture and short description we provide.
There’s no time restriction so take as much time as you’d like to answer all 30 questions correctly. Then, let us know how you get on.
