Vijay Hazare: Shahbaz Nadeem breaks List A cricket record, bags 8 wickets for 10 runs

Jharkand’s Shahbaz Nadeem broke List A cricket’s records with his figures of 8 for 10 in Vijay Hazare match against Rajasthan at the TI Cycles Ground, Murugappa, Chennai on Thursday.

At one point Rajasthan were seven down and all the wickets belonged to Nadeem before Rajasthan were bowled out cheaply for just 73 runs in 28.3 overs.

Nadeem, who has been knocking on the doors of the Indan team for a while now, clinched bowling figures that are the best for any player in List A Cricket as he bettered Rahul Sanghvi's 8 for15 for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in the 1997-98 season. Sanghvi appeared in just one Test for India, back in 2001 against Australia. 

The 29-year-old Nadeem has played 99 First-Class matches, taking 375 wickets at 29.74. He has taken 124 wickets at the List A level in 87 games besides 89 scalps in 109 T20s.

He has been a consistent performer for Jharkhand in all formats including the four-day Ranji Trophy.

He was recently part of the India A team which played in England and also the home series against Australia A.
