Most ODI appearances of all time

Fred Gregory

With the final of the Champions Trophy set up for Sunday in Dubai between India and New Zealand, we thought we'd test your knowledge on the format to ease the wait with a quiz.


During the tournament we have seen Virat Kohli become the fastest player of all time to 14,000 ODI runs, some unbelievable catching from Glenn Phillips, the retirement of Steve Smith, Afghanistan's first ever Champions Trophy appearance, Kane Williamson and Joe Root breaking into the top 15 run scorers in the tournament's history too.


The competition has been marred by some controversy, with political outcry in the UK urging England to cancel their match against Afghanistan, and concerns over India playing all their games at a single, neutral venue, far from the host country. Fast forward 20 years, and a pub quiz question that will stump most: Which host nation was knocked out of their own tournament abroad? The answer? The one person in the room who remembers Pakistan's defeat by 6 wickets to India in Dubai.


With India now into the last game, the final itself has been moved to Dubai from Lahore, depriving Pakistan of hosting its first major tournament final in 29 years.


Anyway, this quiz that I mentioned, how many of the top ODI appearance makers of all time can you name?
