England all-rounder Rehan Ahmed has been called up to the men’s Ashes squad for the second Test at Lord’s as cover for Moeen Ali.
Moeen suffered blistering of his right index finger during the first Test at Edgbaston. It is unclear whether he will be fit for the next game of the series at Lord's, which is scheduled to start on Wednesday (June 28).
“Leicestershire leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been added to the England Men’s Test squad for the second LV= Insurance Men’s Ashes Test against Australia starting at Lord’s on Wednesday 28 June 2023 as cover for spinning all-rounder Moeen Ali,” a release issued by the English Cricket Board stated.
“Ahmed, 18, who made his Test debut with a five-wicket haul in the final Test against Pakistan in Karachi last winter, will join the rest of the squad this weekend in London,” the statement added.
The 18-year-old made his Test debut in the final Test against Pakistan in Karachi last winter, will join the rest of the squad this weekend in London.
The teenager became England's youngest Test player to tour of Pakistan. He has been preferred ahead of the Surrey allrounder Will Jacks.
