Nayeem’s five for 61 agianst the West Indies during their first Test match at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium was a record. Nayeem’s official age is 17 years and 355 days and he broke the record by leapfrogging Australia pacer Pat Cummins. Cummins took six wickets on his debut against South Africa in 2011 when his age was 18 years and 93 days. I had no specific target like a five-wicket haul in an innings or ten wickets in a match prior to the game. Lyon also took nine wickets in the first Test at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka, meaning his total wickets tally was 22 in that two-match series.
