Bangladesh’s leg-spinner Alok Kapali was previously the youngest to record a Test hat trick – at 19 – against Pakistan at Peshawar in 2003.
Naseem, who burst onto the scene on Pakistan’s tour of Australia last year, is also the youngest pacer and second bowler overall to pick a five-wicket in a Test inning.
He achieved that feat at 16 years and 307 days against Sri Lanka in Karachi ඣlast year.
