Cricket Kid Captain! This 17 year old player created history, the youngest international captain
Zach Vukusic Backets Youngest International Skipper: Zac Vukusic of Croatia did so amazing at just 17 years 311 days, which no one had done at this age earlier. As soon as he stepped for the toss in the first match of the T20 series against Cyprus, his name in the record book was recorded in golden letters.
Zack broke the three -year -old record of Noman Amjad of France, who took the youngest captaincy in cricket history at the age of 18 years and 24. The list includes names like Karl Hartman of Isle of Man, Luvsanjundui Ardenbulgan of Mongolia and Rashid Khan of Afghanistan, but now the name of Zack is shining at the top. This player has now become the youngest player in cricket history.

In the first match, Cyprus won by 58 runs, then seven wickets and three wickets. But making history at this stage of age is a big achievement in itself, and the world of cricket is now sitting on this young captain.
Talking about today’s match, Zack could not impress specially with his game even in the fourth and last match of the series. In bowling, he took 1 wicket for 25 runs in 4 overs, while in batting, he could score only 4 runs.
