Wisden cricket quiz - best figures on men’s Test debut

In this quiz, you have to list everyone to have taken a five-wicket haul on men’s Test debut in the 2020s.

Since its inception in 2019, the World Test Championship influenced teams to produce bowling-friendly tracks. Debutant bowlers, thus, found themselves more at ease than they would have a decade or so ago. The first five years produced three instances of a bowler taking twofive-wicket hauls on Test debut, in 2021, 2022 (both in Sri Lanka), and in 2024 (in England).
