Bob Simpson was 31 when he retired in 1968 after 52 tests. It was only because of WSC that he came back for 10 more tests 10 years laterThe key bit here is the age of 30 (or 31, if the case is special enough).
Even more so, I just checked his stats and in his last 10 Tests before he retired in 1968 he hit 1006 runs @ 59.17, had 23 wkts @ 23.65 and held 18 catchesThe Simpson story really is incredible when you think about it.

He made a brief comeback in 1997 aged 33. Though on paper he still probably counts.Mark Lathwell was 29 when he retired from all cricket.
Brooke Walker was 28 when he retired from all cricket.
