Rehan Ahmed: England’s Leg-Spin Gem Ready for Third Test Challenge

England checked out early from the Novotel Hotel in Visakhapatnam and headed to Abu Dhabi with thoughts on balancing golf and family time. However, 19 years old cricketer Rehan Ahmed dismisses golf as a “shocking sport” and prefers watching a Turkish TV series. In the last 13 months, he earned 16 caps and a central contract with the ECB making a notable Test debut against Pakistan and performing well against India.

Rehan primarily a leg-spinner reflects on his performance emphasizing adaptability over specific skills. He acknowledges working on adding more spin to his deliveries in the Indian conditions. Despite being the second-highest wicket-taker for England in the series he remains focused on justifying his place with both wickets and runs.

Rehan also shares insights into his relationship with captain Ben Stokes who respects his faith allowing him to observe optional fasting days. As England faces the third Test in a series tied at 1-1, Rehan sees it as an opportunity to cement his place in the team for all conditions by delivering impactful performances.
