Pakistan pace bowler Naseem Shah dedicated the historic hat-trick he took during the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi to “my country”.

Naseem became the youngest player to take a hat-trick in Test history during the match.

The 16-year-old accomplished the record-breaking feat on the third day after dismissing Najmul Hossain Shanto, Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah in consecutive deliveries.
