Delhi: While India’s senior team is busy playing a Test series of five matches against England, on the other hand, India and England under-19 teams are face to face in the youth test series.
The first match of this two -match series was played from 12 to 15 July in Bekenham, which ended on a draw. However, in this match, Archie Vauan, son of former England captain Michael Vaughan, caught everyone’s attention by performing brilliantly.
Archie has become the first joint player to take six wickets twice in an innings in the youth Test by England’s Under-19 team. With this special achievement, he has equaled former England veteran spinner Graeme Swan.
In 1998, Swan took 6 wickets for 46 runs in two youth Tests against Pakistan Under-19 team. Archie Vauan also took 6 wickets for 19 runs in Cape Town against South Africa Under-19 team earlier this year. Now he has taken 6 wickets for 84 runs in the Bekenham Test against the Indian Under-19 team. With this performance, he got his name registered in history.
The biggest record is recorded in the name of Pakistani all -rounder
Former Pakistan all -rounder Abdul Razzaq holds the record for the most six wickets in an innings in Youth Test cricket. He has done this feat three times. After him, 11 players have achieved this feat twice, which includes Deron Dixon, Narendra Hirwani, Mushtaq Ahmed, Rashid Khan, Sakalain Mushtaq, Ravi Shastri, Tim Southee, Paul Stapto, Grame Swan and Ashish Zaidi besides Archie Von.
Who is Archie Vaughan?
Archie is the son of Von, former Ashes winner and England captain Michael Vaughan. Vaughan captained England at the under-19 level in 1993-94. On the other hand, his son Archie was associated with the Summerset team last season as an all -rounder and now he is walking on his father’s footsteps.
Significantly, Michael Vaughan captained England in 51 Tests, including the 2005 historic Ashes win.
