Longest gap between ODI and Test cricket debuts

On 28 July 2009, West Indies batter/wicket-keeper Devon Thomas (Antigua) made his One-Day International (ODI) debut against Bangladesh at Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica. It took him a further 13 years 133 days to play his first – and so far only – Test match, against Australia at the Adelaide Oval on 8–11 December 2022.

Thomas made his Twenty20 International debut for the West Indies on 2 August 2009 – five days after his ODI debut and 13 years 128 days before appearing in his first Test. On his Test debut in Adelaide, Thomas, 33, took the wickets of top-order batters Usman Khawaja (lbw for 62) and Marnus Labuschagne (caught for 163) but scored only 19 and 12 with the bat as Australia routed the visitors by 419 runs early on day four.
