Arafat Minhas etched his name in cricket history on May 30, 2026, by becoming the first Pakistani cricketer to take a five-wicket haul on his One Day International (ODI) debut. The 21-year-old spinner from Multan achieved this feat during the first ODI of a three-match series against Australia at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Minhas's exceptional bowling performance saw him claim five wickets for just 32 runs in 10 overs. He began his wicket-taking spree by dismissing Australia captain Josh Inglis lbw and followed up by sending Marnus Labuschagne back for a duck. His third wicket was Cameron Green, who also fell for a duck. Minhas continued his dominance by stumping opener Matthew Short and finally completed his five-wicket haul by dismissing Nathan Ellis. This achievement not only marks a significant milestone for Minhas but also makes him the first bowler to secure a five-wicket haul on ODI debut against Australia, breaking the previous record held by Hendy Bryan of the West Indies.
