Play more, live on
The more Tests you play, the longer you’ll live. Researchers at the University of St Andrews in Scotland reached this conclusion after studying the lifespans of 418 England cricketers born between 1827 and 1941. A long, fulfilling playing career increases the longevity of a cricketer, concurring with the theory that people who are happier live longer than those who are less successful. The study also outlined the importance of family background: those from privileged classes lived longer than those from less fortunate backgrounds. Amateurs with many Test appearances lived an average of 79.3 years, while professional players with only a few Tests had an average lifespan of 71.5 years.
