Naseem Shah, 16, becomes youngest male cricketer to make test debut against Australia
Pakistan's 16 year old Naseem Shah inspects the pitch before the first cricket test match in Brisbane, Australia, Thursday, November 21 2019.
Flight logistics and religious customs meant Naseem couldn’t make it home in time for the funeral. So, with the full support of his family, he stayed in Australia and instead bowled in the second innings of Pakistan’s tour game against Australia A that netted 1-21, including the wicket of test opener Marcus Harris, in a spell that ultimately earned him his test debut.
"By all reports, he bowls fast, is quite lively and sometimes that's almost better when you start off a little bit naive," Cummins said. “You just want to go out and bowl fast and not be clouded by the baggage of a few long days in the dirt." “Obviously, it was a hard time for him, but he coped with it and he came out and bowled the very next day, which is very heartening,” Azhar said on the eve of the first test.
