On May 12, 2023, Noman Ali, a left-arm spinner from Pakistan, made cricket history by becoming the oldest player to take 100 Test wickets at the age of 39 years and 217 days during a Test match against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. He achieved this milestone by dismissing Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz, marking a significant moment in his career. Noman surpassed the previous record held by England's Bobby Peel, who reached his 100th wicket at 39 years and 180 days in 1896. In the match, he took three wickets in the second innings after claiming one in the first, showcasing his skill on a challenging pitch. Noman's journey is remarkable as he made his Test debut at 34 years old in 2021 and has quickly become one of the fastest bowlers to reach this milestone, achieving it in only 22 Tests. Despite his personal success, Pakistan's team was struggling in the match, chasing a target of 268 runs with Noman batting at zero when this report was written.
