Rehan Ahmed (born 13 August 2004) is an English cricketer.[1] He made his international debut against Pakistan on 17 December 2022, becoming England men's youngest Test debutant. On the third day of the match he also became the youngest debutant to take five wickets in an innings in men’s Tests.
Early life
His father Naeem Ahmed, a former cricketer, was born in Pakistan, where he played as a fast-bowling all-rounder, before moving to England.[2] His brothers Farhan and Raheem are also cricketers.[3]
Ahmed was in the youth set up at Nottinghamshire but left to join Leicestershire in 2017. Aged 13 he was already billed as one of the brightest prospects in English cricket having been invited to bowl at England and West Indies at Lord's and clean bowled Ben Stokes.[4]
Career
He made his List A debut on 25 July 2021, for Leicestershire in the 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup.[5] Prior to his List A debut, Ahmed was named in the County Select XI squad to play against India during their tour of England.[6]
Ahmed was part of England's squad for the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies in early 2022.[7] He played in four of his team's six matches, taking 12 wickets, as England finished as runners-up to India.[8]
In April 2022, he was bought by the Southern Brave for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[9] Later the same month, he signed a contract extension to the end of 2026 with Leicestershire.[10]
Ahmed made his first-class debut on 19 May 2022, for Leicestershire in the 2022 County Championship,[11] and his Twenty20 debut for the same team a week later.[12]
In November 2022, he was added to the England squad for the away Test series against Pakistan.[13] He made his Test debut against Pakistan on 17 December 2022,[14] becoming the youngest male cricketer from England to do so at the age of 18 years and 126 days.[15] During Pakistan's second innings, Ahmed took his first five–wicket haul in Tests,[16] and became the youngest debutant to achieve a five-wicket haul in men’s Tests.[17]
In December 2022, he was shortlisted for that year's BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year Award.[18]
In February 2023, he was named in England's One Day International (ODI) squad for the series against Bangladesh,[19] and made his ODI debut in the third ODI on 6 March 2023.[20]
