Top 5 youngest bowlers to take 5-wicket hauls in Test cricket

#1 Nasim-ul-Ghani (16y 303d)

Nasim-Ul-Ghani could have got a lot more out of his career

Nasim-ul-Ghani was primarily a left-arm spinner but he could also ball medium pace. When Pakistan was touring West Indies in 1958, he picked 5 wickets for 116 runs in the 4th Test at Georgetown. Despite his efforts, West Indies emerged victorious by 8 wickets.

He had made his debut in the same series against West Indies at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown. He represented Pakistan in just 29 Test matches from 1958-1973 due to his inconsistent performances. In 29 matches, he picked 52 wickets with best figures of 6/67. He appeared in a solitary ODI against New Zealand in 1973.

Ghani, who was at the time the youngest Test debutant, turned out to be quite decent with the bat as he struck a century against England in 1962 after coming on as a night watchman.
