Croatian Cricketer Vukusic Sets New Captaincy Record
A young cricket player from Croatia named Zach made history.
He became the youngest person ever to be the captain of an international cricket team.
He was just 17 years old when he led his team in a match.
This is a big deal because no one has ever done this at such a young age before.
He broke the old record that was held by someone who was 18.
Zach is the first player to captain an international cricket side before turning 18.
This is a great accomplishment for him and for Croatian cricket!

He achieved this record during a T20I series against Cyprus.
Vukusic was 17 years and 311 days old when he debuted as captain.
He surpassed the previous record held by Noman Amjad of France.
Rashid Khan holds the record among Test-playing nations.
