Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, and Kevin Sinclair were Noman's victims in the hat-trick.
The 38-year-old left-arm spinner achieved this feat during the first day’s play in the ongoing second Test against the West Indies at Multan Cricket Stadium.
Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, and Kevin Sinclair were his victims on the first three balls of the 12th over as Noman bagged a hat-trick to leave the visitors reeling at 38/7.
Before and after the hat-trick, Noman dismissed the West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite and veteran pacer Kemar Roach to pick up his eighth five-wicket haul in the longest format.
Wasim Akram was the first Pakistani bowler to take a hat trick in Test cricket. The legendary pacer achieved the feat twice in 1999 against Sri Lanka in Lahore and Dhaka. All-rounder Abdul Razzaq joined Akram in the elite list a year later, versus Sri Lanka in Galle.
Fast bowler Mohammad Sami became the third Pakistani cricketer to take a Test hat-trick in March 2002. He too accomplished the milestone against Sri Lanka in Lahore.
The last Pakistani player to take a hat-trick in Test cricket before Noman was right-arm quick Naseem Shah, who achieved the feat during a match against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in February 2020.
