England Calls Up Rehan for New Zealand Test
Rehan Ahmed will join the squad for the first Test against New Zealand at Lord's.
Following his successful stint with England at the T20 World Cup in India, where he claimed the Man of the Match award with a brilliant performance against New Zealand, the 21-year-old leg-spinner is in line for a starting position as the series gets underway.
Claude Henderson, Director of Cricket, stated, "We are thrilled with Rehan's call-up to England; it's a massive endorsement of both the club and Rehan's talent. We strive to make our players better, so it’s exciting to see them selected for their country. Leicestershire County Cricket Club should be proud, and the fans from Leicester certainly will be."
"Rehan will come to Grace Road to watch matches when he is not playing for England, so hopefully, fans will congratulate him in person."
