Hong Kong’s slow left-arm orthodox Nadeem Ahmed made a memorable T20I debut on 16th March (Sunday), when he became only the 7th cricketer in the history of T20 Internationals to pick up a wicket off the very first ball of his career.

He dismissed Nepal opener Subhash Khakurel when the batsman mishit a slog to mid-on. Only 6 international cricketers have achieved this feat before Nadeem.

Nadeem was soon joined on the list by Nepal spinner Paras Khadka who took a wicket off his first ball in T20 Internationals too to make it to the list.
