Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud produced a memorable performance against the West Indies in the second Test in Sylhet, claiming 6 wickets in the first innings. Beyond giving his team a significant boost, the haul also brought him a place in an exclusive club in the history of Test cricket. The 26-year-old registered his fifth five-wicket haul in the longest format. What makes the achievement particularly special is that each of his first five such hauls has come in a different country.
Since Test cricket began in 1877, only one other bowler had managed the same feat: Australia’s Nathan Lyon.

Mahmud’s five-wicket-haul journey began in Rawalpindi, where he achieved the milestone against Pakistan in 2024.
Later that year, he claimed another five-for against India in Chennai.
His next three came in different countries during 2026. The Bangladesh pacer took his third five-wicket haul against Australia in Darwin, followed by his fourth against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.
The latest performance against the West Indies in Sylhet completed the remarkable sequence.
Lyon had previously achieved the distinction, making Mahmud just the second bowler to take his first five Test five-wicket hauls in five different countries.
Against the West Indies, Mahmud finished with figures of 6/90 from 24 overs. He bowled one maiden and maintained an economy rate of 3.80.
