Test players who batted with people born after they made their debut

Cricinfo's database king Travis Basevi (the man who built Statsguru) has come up with three further instances in Tests of one batsman having made his debut before his batting partner was even born. In addition to the occasion involving Wilfred Rhodes mentioned last time, Rhodes (Test debut 1899) also batted with Harold Larwood (born 1904) against Australia at The Oval in 1926. Then, against Sri Lanka in Faisalabad in 1991-92, Pakistan's captain Imran Khan (debut 1971) batted with both Zahid Fazal (born 1973) and Moin Khan (born September 1971). The only instances we can find in one-day internationals involve Saleem Malik (ODI debut January 1982) and Hasan Raza (born March 1982), who batted together for Pakistan against Zimbabwe in Quetta in 1996-97, and on two or three subsequent occasions.
