Sunday was a historic day for world cricket for many different reasons. In Rawalpindi, Pakistan’s teenage pace bowling sensation Naseem Shah became the youngest ever to take a hat-trick in any international game let alone a Test match, against Bangladesh on the third day of the match.
Naseem is the fourth Pakistani to achieve this feat in a Test match. Former captain Wasim Akram has achieved the feat twice and Abdul Razzal and Mohammad Sami are the other two.
While Bangladesh looks in all sorts of troubles in Rawalpindi, in Potchefstroom, South Africa, the U-19 Bangladeshi team created history by picking up the title for the first time beating India in the final by three wickets. Simultaneously, history was made in Johannesburg where the England cricket team was playing in the third and final one-day international against South Africa.
