Tue Oct 15 17:14:45 UTC 2024: ## Kamran Ghulam Makes Historic Debut Century for Pakistan
**Karachi, Pakistan:** In a remarkable feat, Kamran Ghulam, replacing Babar Azam in the Pakistan Test squad, scored a century on his debut match. This makes him the 116th player in history to achieve this milestone in their first Test match. Ghulam joins a distinguished list of Pakistani players like Javed Miandad and Umar Akmal, who have previously achieved this feat.
Ghulam reached his century in 192 balls, marking the first century of his international career. He was dropped on 79 by Ben Duckett, a costly miss for the English team. The 29-year-old batsman scored his century with 9 fours and a six.
With this achievement, Ghulam became the 13th Pakistani player to score a century on Test debut. The first Pakistani player to score a century on debut was Khalid Ibadullah, who achieved this feat against Australia in 1964. Other notable Pakistani players who have scored centuries on their debut include Younis Khan and Azhar Mahmood.
While 13 Pakistani batsmen have scored centuries on their Test debuts, Umar Akmal is the only player to have done so on foreign soil. All other Pakistani debut centurions achieved this milestone on home grounds.
The last player to score a century on Test debut in world cricket was India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 171 runs against West Indies in 2023.
**Bangladesh Head Coach Fired:** Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, the head coach has been dismissed with immediate effect after an incident involving slapping a player.
