West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie entered the record books when he opened the bowling on day one of the first Test against Pakistan in Multan today (January 17).
The start of the first Test was delayed due to fog after which Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first. Both the hosts and the visitors named one debutant each in their XIs - Pakistan playing Mohammad Huraira in place of the injured Saim Ayub and West Indies playing wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach, replacing vice-captain Joshua da Silva.
The construction of Pakistan's bowling attack, comprising only one seam bowling option and four spinners was enough of a giveaway for the kind of surface to expect in Multan. West Indies went in with three spin-bowling options as well, and started with one of them, Motie.
