He took 5/116 against West Indies in the 4th Test (of 5 Test series) at Bourda, Georgetown, British Guiana on 17 th March 1958, when he was only 16 years and 307 days old. A test match which Pakistan lost.
But he then went onto take 6/67 in the second innings of 5th Test at Port of Spain, Trinidad, which Pakistan won, but still lost the series 3-1.
This was the series, in the 3rd Test of which, in Jamaica, Sir Gary Sobers scored the record breaking knock of 365 n.o in a WI score of 790/3.
Over to you for next question.

The youngest Wicket keeper to keep in his very first Test onwards was Parthiv Patel at 17 years 153 days on 8th August 2002, but the youngest keeper ever to play a test match is Derek Sealy of West Indies who despite being a keeper, and making his Test debut at 17 years and 122 days(being younger than Parthiv by 31 days at his debut), did not keep in his very first Test(11 January 1930) as Errol Hunte was the keeper in that Test.SJS said:
Sealy eventually did keep wickets for 2 tests only 10 years after his test debut in 1939.
Possibly a bit obscure :
In about 1997, the ad company Lintas came up with a series of campaigns for Reebok about Indian cricket. Two of them, called 'the asassin' and 'the viper', have faded away with time. Which was the third campaign whose tagline is still very famous ?

Ok, I'll rephrase the question.
In 1997 or so, Lintas came up with three ad campaigns for Reebok which was centred around Indian cricketers. The first one was about 'Azhar the Assassin', and the second 'Kumble the Viper'. Which was the third and most famous one ?
Very guessable.

Picture Quiz .
Who is this cricketer making the toss with Sir Don Bradman , and then exchanging (or receiving) a bat of Sir Garfield Sobers (in his heyday) ? ( I hope the pictures in the thumbnails are reasonable quality )
I love Sir Don's Bowler Hat.
A Clue may appear in 2 - 3 hours time (time permitting) if no one gets it by then.
