Cotar Ramaswami makes his Test debut for India at age 40 years and 39 days against England at Manchester on July 25, 1936, becoming only the second Indian to debut after turning 40.
Ramaswami is born June 16, 1896, in Madras (now Chennai). One account notes he also plays at Wimbledon, suggesting involvement in sports beyond cricket. Another reports that he disappears from his home in 1985. After his disappearance, his death is not confirmed, and he is listed in records as “death unknown.”
Together, the sources focus on his late-age Test debut, his broader sporting background, and the uncertainty surrounding his later life. They do not add differing details about his match debut itself, instead emphasizing the same biographical points and the continuing lack of information about his death.
