Vaibhav Suryavanshi played his first international match against England on 4 July. He played his first match at the age of 15 years and 99 days. He has become the youngest player to debut for India, but many other players have represented their country in international cricket at an even younger age. See here the list of top-7 players who made their debut at the youngest age in international cricket.
World record in Pakistan’s name
The record of making international cricket debut at the youngest age is in the name of Pakistan’s Hasan Raza. He made his Test debut for Pakistan in the year 1996 at the age of just 14 years and 227 days. Six days later, he made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe at the age of 14 years and 233 days.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi has come second in this matter. He made his debut against England at the age of 15 years and 99 days. After him comes the name of Mohammad Sharif of Bangladesh, who made his debut against Zimbabwe at the age of 15 years and 116 days. Pakistan’s Mohammad Mushtaq and then his compatriot Aaqib Javed are also included in this list.
Youngest International Debut (Top-7)
- 14 years 227 days – Hasan Raza (Pakistan)
- 15 years 99 days – Vaibhav Suryavanshi (India)
- 15 years 116 days – Mohammad Sharif (Bangladesh)
- 15 years 124 days – Mohammad Mushtaq (Pakistan)
- 16 years 127 days – Aaqib Javed (Pakistan)
- 16 years 205 days – Sachin Tendulkar (India)
- 16 years 215 days – Shahid Afridi (Pakistan)
The record of Pakistan’s Hasan Raza cannot be broken because ICC had implemented a new rule in the year 2020. Under this rule, a player below 15 years of age cannot debut in international cricket.
