The most likely replacement in England’s XI to face Afghanistan is Jamie Overton although fellow pacemen Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood are alternative options. In contrast, Ahmed’s fellow leg-break bowler Adil Rashid, plus the supplementary spinning options provided by Liam Livingstone and Joe Root, united to claim figures of two for 120 from 21 overs. Ahmed, who was an unused squad member on the recent white-ball trip to India, is expected to arrive in Pakistan on Wednesday and is set to be available for England’s final group stage clash against South Africa at Karachi’s National Stadium on Saturday.
