Uncapped Rehan Ahmed added to England Test squad

LONDON: Uncapped leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been added to England's Men's Test squad for the upcoming tour of Pakistan, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Wednesday. The 18-year-old impressed the coaching staff with his attitude and genuine potential during the three-day warm-up fixtures for England Lions against the Test squad in the training camp in Abu Dhabi and has been added to the senior squad. If selected during the three-match Test series -- the first time England are playing in Pakistan in 17 years -- Rehan will become the youngest player to play Test cricket for England men, surpassing Yorkshire's Brian Close, who represented the three lions at 18 years 149 days against New Zealand in July 1949.
