Charismatic Rashid Khan scripted history as he became the youngest ever Test captain on Thursday leading Afghanistan against Bangladesh in the one-off Test.
The record was earlier held by Zimbabwe’s Tatenda Taibu who was 20 years and 358 days old when he led his side against Sri Lanka in 2004. Rashid is 20 years and 350 days old.
Rashid won the toss and elected to bat first in the one-off Test against Bangladesh at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong on Thursday.
Bangladesh picked an all-spin bowling attack while Afghanistan handed Test debuts to Ibrahim Zadran, Qais Ahmed and Zahir Khan.
