4 unique Test records belonging to Bangladesh 

Nayeem Hasan, a 17-year-old kid of Bangladesh, created history by becoming the youngest bowler to take a five-for on Test debut. The right-arm spinner stunned West Indies in the first Test of the series in Chittagong. The young lad showed his off-spin ability with a great set of variations which made West Indian batsman unable to run the scoreboard.

Bangladesh have another three unique Test records that can make the Tigers proud. They are known for their intention to play young guys at the highest level of the game. They often choose young talents for the national duty, and in most of the cases, they click.

Nayeem became the latest example of Bangladesh's gamble for a young guy. He took no time to prove the Bangladeshi selectors right by creating a world record. Along with Nayeem's surprise arrival, we will discuss three other unique Test records created by Bangladesh players.

#4 Youngest bowler to register a five-for on Test debut

Nayeem Hasan was a handy bowler in Bangladesh's under-19 squad. The national selectors spotted him during his cricketing days for the age level cricket. They took no time to introduce him to a bigger stage when they called him to the Bangladesh Test earlier this year. But, Nayeem did not get a chance to represent Bangladesh during their home series against Sri Lanka.

Abdur Razzak, the left-handed veteran spinner of Bangladesh, took precedence over Nayeem in the series earlier this year and played a Test in Dhaka after a gap of four years.

Bangladesh selectors had nothing to choose but consider this young guy for the national team this time around, as he took most wickets in the National Cricket League which is the biggest First-class cricketing event in the country. And Nayeem took no time to prove his worth. He went past Pat Cummins to ink his name in the record of the youngest bowler to take a five-for in Test debut.

#3 Highest opening stand in the third or fourth innings of a Test

In the ocean of Test cricket history, there is only an opening stand of over 300-runs in the third or fourth innings of a Test match, and that is made by Bangladesh's opening pair of Tamim Iqbal and Imrul Kayes.

The two southpaw batsmen scored 312 runs in the third innings of the Khulna Test back in 2015 against Pakistan. Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh's number-one opener, hit the first-ever double-ton as a Bangladeshi in the home ground in that match, and Imrul Kayes also hit a ton. And thus, they passed 300-runs mark in the third or fourth innings of a Test match for the first time in the history.

Despite the tremendous batting display of these two batsmen, Bangladesh failed to win the match. In the first innings of the Khulna Test, the hosts scored 332 runs. Pakistan replied with a strong total of 628, courtesy to a pleasant double-ton of Mohammad Hafeez. The fifth day of the match came to an end when Bangladesh reached 555 for six in that match with the help of historical effort of 312 of Tamim and Imrul.

#2 Hat-trick and century in the same Test

It is a new kind of record. It is a new chapter in cricket history. Sohag Gazi, Bangladesh's right-arm spinner, did it against New Zealand back in 2013 in Chittagong. Before he did it, there was no instance of a hat-trick and century in the same Test by the same cricketer.

In the first innings of the Chittagong Test, New Zealand scored a big total of 469. Kane Williamson and BJ Watling were the batsmen to hit a ton each for the Kiwis. Bangladesh replied with an even bigger total of 501 runs. Despite the failure f two openers Tamim Iqbal (0) and Anamul Haque (3), Bangladesh managed to score 500 with the great effort of Mominul Haque (181) and Gazi (101). He also scored that ton batting at number eight.

In the second innings of New Zealand, Gazi took six wickets for 77. While taking six-wicket haul, he dismissed three Kiwi batsmen in a row in the 83rd over of their innings, and the batsmen were Corey Anderson, BJ Watling and Doug Bracewell.

#1 Youngest batsman to score a century on Test debut

Mohammad Ashraful is celebrating his hundred in Test debut

It is a 17-year-old's record that Bangladesh are still cheering for. Mohammad Ashraful, the right-handed batsman of the Tigers, hit a stunning ton on the Test debut against Sri Lanka. That was a point of time when Bangladesh were often considered as the minnows in the cricketing world. So naturally, Ashraful's century came as an occasion of a mini-festival to the cricket-mad nation.

Though Ashraful lost his dignity for his involvement in the spot-fixing and match-fixing scandal during the Bangladesh premier league in 2013, his achievement in the Test debut is still inspiring for many young cricketers of the country. The right-handed batsman served a ban of five years, and now trying to make a national comeback. He has been announced eligible by BCB to play any form of the game again.

After Ashraful's history-making effort, every Test-playing nation introduced many teenager batsmen in Test cricket, but none of them could surpass him.
