Bangladesh’s leg-spinner Alok Kapali was previously the youngest to record a Test hat trick – at 19 – against Pakistan at Peshawar in 2003.
Naseem, who burst onto the scene on Pakistan’s tour of Australia last year, is also the youngest pacer and second bowler overall to pick a five-wicket in a Test inning.
He achieved th𝓀at feat at 16 years and 307 dꦅays against Sri Lanka in Karachi last year.
Naseem Shah,�ꦛ� who is few days away from his 17th birthday, becomes the youngest to take a hat-trick in Test cricket history.
In December he had become the youngest f🐽ast bowler to take a five-wic🔯ket haul in Tests.
