The 18-year-old leg-spinning all-rounder claimed two key wickets after becoming England’s youngest ever men’s Test cricketer
Rehan Ahmed wore a smile as wide as the Arabian Sea as he walked off the pitch in Karachi and declared it “the best day of my life”.
Ahmed’s father, Naeem, was born in Azad Kashmir and was among the England huddle when Nasser Hussain conducted the cap presentation before the toss. The former England captain addressed Naeem first, saying: “The pride you must have in your heart watching your 18 year old son playing cricket in the National Stadium, Karachi, is incomparable.”
