Noman Ali makes history against West Indies in second Test

Noman Ali has created history by becoming the first Pakistani spinner to take a hat-trick in Test cricket. He achieved this remarkable feat on the first day of the second Test against West Indies in Multan. Noman dismissed Kevin Sinclair in the 12th over to complete his hat-trick, leaving the West Indies reeling.  

With this achievement, Noman has joined an elite list of Pakistani cricketers who have taken a hat-trick in Test cricket. He is the fifth Pakistani to accomplish this milestone and the first since Naseem Shah, who took a hat-trick against Bangladesh in 2020 in Rawalpindi.  

Here is the complete list of Pakistan players with Test hat-tricks:  

- Noman Ali – Against West Indies in 2025, Multan  
- Naseem Shah – Against Bangladesh in 2020, Rawalpindi  
- Mohammad Sami – Against Sri Lanka in 2002, Lahore  
- Abdul Razzaq – Against Sri Lanka in 2000, Galle  
- Wasim Akram – Two hat-tricks against Sri Lanka in 1999 (Lahore and Dhaka)  

Noman's exceptional bowling performance is the sixth Test hat-trick for Pakistan overall. His contribution has put the team in a commanding position, with West Indies reduced to 76-8 after opting to bat first.
