    What's the story

    Naveed Zadran was the pick of the bowlers for Afghanistan on Day 3 against Sri Lanka at the SSC ground on Sunday.

    The youngster claimed 2/80 on Day 2 and added two more to his tally on Day 3. He finished with figures of 4/83 on debut in the first innings as the hosts compiled a massive total of 439.

    Here's more.

    Knock

    An exceptional spell on debut for Naveed

    The young pacer removed Nishan Madushka in the morning session of Day 2 to claim his first wicket in Test cricket.

    Later, Naveed outfoxed a well-settled Dinesh Chandimal right after he slammed his ton.

    He returned on Day 3 to dismiss Sadeera Samarawickrama before knocking over Prabath Jayasuriya to complete his fourfer.

    While Afghanistan's bowling largely looked mediocre, Naveed was their only bright spark.
