Rehan Ahmed to become youngest England test player during final match against Pakistan

The Hindu  

Legspinner Rehan Ahmed will become England’s youngest test player and regular wicketkeeper Ben Foakes returns to the lineup as the visitors eye a historic 3-0 sweep in their first test tour to Pakistan in 17 years. “He’s got a vast array of shots and obviously a wrist-spinner is great to be able to have in your team, especially in these conditions.” With their aggressive approach under McCullum and Stokes, England leads the three-match series 2-0 after beating Pakistan by 74 runs on a flat wicket in Rawalpindi, which later received one demerit point from the International Cricket Council. They racked up a world record 506-4 in the first test and then despite mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed claiming 7-114 in his debut test at Multan, Stokes’ men piled on a rapid 281 inside the first two sessions on the first day before taking a significant 79-run first innings lead. “It’s not that we are relaxed on fitness but we have to address fitness issues.” Babar said Pakistan missed its moments in the series and hopes his spinners will challenge England on another dry wicket prepared for the third test.
