Rehan Ahmed

Rehan Ahmed is a rising English cricketer born on August 13, 2004, in Nottingham, England. Known for his leg-spin bowling and handy lower-order batting, Rehan quickly made a mark in England's cricket setup. He progressed through England's youth teams, starring in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2022, and made his first-class debut for Leicestershire in 2022. His domestic performances, characterized by his all-round abilities, earned him recognition and opportunities in top-tier franchise leagues like the ILT20.

Rehan made his international debut for England in December 2022 during the Test series against Pakistan at the age of 18 years and 126 days, becoming the youngest male cricketer to represent England in Tests. His debut was spectacular as he took a five-wicket haul in Pakistan's second innings, the youngest ever to do so in men's Test cricket. In early 2023, he made his One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) debuts, setting records as the youngest male cricketer for England to debut in these formats. His leg-spin variations, calm temperament, and fearless batting have led many to see him as a future cornerstone of England's spin attack. In the 2024 Test series against India, he took 11 wickets and scored 76 runs across three matches, further cementing his status as a promising talent for England's cricket future.
