In this quiz, you have to answer ten questions on cricketers who played Test matches while still in their teens.
Old Trafford, 1990. Chasing 408, India were struggling at 183-6 as Manoj Prabhakar joined the teenager at the other end. There were more than two hours to bat out, but Sachin Tendulkar stayed put, eventually going on to make his first Test hundred.
Quiz! How well do you know the people and objects named after Sachin Tendulkar?
To no one’s surprise, Tendulkar was named Player of the Match. Unfortunately, the magnum of champagne they awarded him was of little use to him at that point, for he was not of drinking age. He had to wait for that.
Quiz! Every teenager to play men’s Test cricket since 2010
Playing Test cricket is difficult. Getting there in one’s teens is truly a remarkable feat, but many have made a cut. In fact, there was a splurge in the 2024/25 season when, across the three Boxing Day and three New Year’s men’s Tests, four teenagers from four nations got their Test caps. That took the count of teenage Test cricketers to 226 men and 95 women: both lists begin with Australians in the first ever respective Test matches.
The list obviously includes early bloomers, some of whom went on to become legends of the format. How well do you know them?
