List of cricketers who have taken five-wicket hauls on One Day International debut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")[1] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a significant achievement.[2] As of July 2024, more than 4700 ODIs have been played,[3] however there have only been 15 occasions where a player achieved this feat on his ODI debut.[4] Players from the nine of the twelve teams that have Full member status—Australia, Bangladesh, England, Ireland[a], Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Zimbabwe—have taken five-wicket hauls on debut. Sri Lankans have performed this feat on three occasions, while the Bangladeshis and South Africa have two each. In addition, three players from Associate teams—Canada, Namibia and Scotland—have taken a five-wicket haul on debut. Afghanistan, India, and New Zealand are yet to have a debutant take a five-wicket haul.

Allan Donald
Allan Donald took a five-wicket haul for South Africa in its first ever ODI.

Sri Lankan cricketer Uvais Karnain was the first to take a five-wicket haul on ODI debut;[4] he took 5 wickets for 26 runs against New Zealand in March 1984. His figures were bettered by Australian cricketer Tony Dodemaide who took 5 wickets while conceding 21 runs in a match against Sri Lanka in January 1988.[4] In 1991, Allan Donald became the first South African cricketer to take an ODI five-wicket haul for his team.[b] Although South Africa lost the game by three wickets, Donald received a man of the match award.[c] Canada cricketer Austin Codrington's tally of 5 wickets for 27 runs against Bangladesh in the group stage of the 2003 Cricket World Cup is the only five-wicket haul taken during the Cricket World Cup; his figures helped Canada secure a 60-run victory.[7] Pakistani cricketer Arafat Minhas is the most recent debutant to take a five-wicket haul, with figures of 5 wickets for 32 runs against Australia. Of the 15 occasions a cricketer has taken a five-wicket haul on debut, his team has lost only 2 times.
