A total of 22 players are included on this list (all those with six or more fielding dimissals on Test debut). Exactly half of these players are Australian, and only four are from Asia.
The top three on this list, two Aussies and an Englishman, have registered eight dismissals on Test debut. Unsurprisingly, out of the 22, 21 are wicketkeepers. One solitary fielder, an Indian, has made it to this list after taking seven catches on debut in Bengaluru in 1977.
Adam Zampa has voiced his frustration at former players for being overtly critical of the national team’s performance.
