Youngest to take Test hat-trick
On February 9, 2020, on day three of the first Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh at Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Naseem Shah took a hat-trick, dismissing Najmul Hossain Shanto, Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah off three consecutive balls. In the process, Naseem became the youngest player ever to take a Test hat-trick.
When 19-year-old Alok Kapali became the youngest player to take a Test hat-trick in August 2003, Naseem Shah was a six-month-old baby. Kapali, the first Bangladesh player to take a Test hat-trick, achieved the feat against Pakistan at Peshawar, Pakistan. Bangladesh, though, lost that match.
Pakistan won the match by an innings and 44 runs. The 16-year-old Naseem Shah, who had one wicket in the first innings and four in the second, was declared played of the match.
Six days after becoming the youngest bowler to take a Test hat-trick, Naseem Shah turned 17 on February 15, 2020.
