While young players have energy and enthusiasm, experienced cricketers have statistics that show their skills have been proven over time. Experienced players in their late 30s, like Lara, Inzamam, Hayden, McGrath, and Gilchrist have found success in international tournaments like the World Cup. Ultimately, experience tends to lead to more wins in cricket, as shown by successful Australian teams, but giving opportunities to promising youth can also benefit teams going forward.
