In order to be competitive at the international level, players in modern cricket must meet many requirements. Nowadays, one of the most important indicators of aptitude and skill is fitness. A player must put forth a great deal of effort to play 100 games in one format. For those seeking to serve as long-term representatives of their country, longevity and stability become crucial components of their professional lives.

With the addition of T20I cricket in the past 20 years, players have had to put in a lot of effort to maintain their peak levels of consistency and fitness. There are now just three players worldwide who have participated in over 100 matches in all forms (T20Is, ODIs, and Tests). In T20Is and tests, very few players have reached the 100-game milestone.

T20I is the newest form of the game. Let’s have a look at the list of cricketers who have played 100+ games in all three formats. In this blog, we will talk about the list of cricketers who have played 100+ games in all three formats.
