15 yrs since Test history's 1st ton by a black African
Zimbabwe's Hamilton Masakadza became the first black African to score a Test century on July 29, 2001. Masakadza, aged 17 years and 352 days at the start of the Test, also became the then youngest debutant centurion in Test cricket's history. Notably, Masakadza was only the seventh black African to play for Zimbabwe.
