Young new ball bowlers
Irfan Pathan is taking the new ball at the young age of 19..
Which have been the youngest new ball bowlers in test history? I think Kapil Dev was the last 19 year old to take the new ball for India. Younis and Akram were very young too but did any one of them bowl the first over for their country in a test? It would be interesting to know the below 20 yar players bowling the first over for their countries.. |

Can't think of when it's happened in Tests for WI, but Jerome Taylor and Chris Gayle both took the new ball in ODIs when they were 19.
