Except in the case of genuine one-format specialists, getting to that level usually means players can receive a go in multiple formats. These can often come in the same series, if it is a multi-format one. If not, many players can debut in another format soon after. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/quizzes\/play-and-win\/quiz-every-indian-captain-in-mens-odis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Quiz!

Here, you have to name the players with the longest time between their Test debut and ODI debut. To remove instances of those debuting in the very first ODI, or the early years of the format, only those who debuted in Tests after the advent of ODIs have been considered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisden.com\/quizzes\/play-and-win\/quiz-name-all-the-players-to-take-10-wickets-on-mens-test-debut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Quiz!
