وسیم اکرم پاکستان کی جانب سے سب سے زیادہ ٹیسٹ “پانچ وکٹیں” (Five-fers) لینے کا ریکارڈ رکھتے ہیں، جن کی تعداد 25 ہے۔ He is followed by Imran Khan (23) and Waqar Younis (22). Noman Ali, 39, 's rapid rise to the top of the list and rise to the top is even more commendable as he made his debut for Pakistan in 2021 at the age of 34, since then Noman Ali has celebrated himself as a match-winner, especially in home conditions. They often break important partnerships and turn the match around with their accurate and aggressive bowling, even on lifeless wickets they have the ability to get exceptional bounce and turn, making them an invaluable asset, especially on wickets in Asia. He has been perhaps the best bowler in the world in Test cricket since July 2023, picking up 52 wickets at an average of just 15.21, which is the best figure during this period (among bowlers who have taken at least 30 wickets). These illustrate their global positioning and superior performance.
