Fans on Twitter reacted hilariously as England added 18-year-old all-rounder Rehan Ahmed to their Test squad for the tour of Pakistan. They compared his age with James Anderson and recalled Daniel Vettori’s comment on Sachin Tendulkar “he has been in form longer than some of our guys have been alive”.
England adds Rehan Ahmed to their squad for the Test series against Pakistan
England is all set to tour Pakistan for the three-match Test series in December this year. The first game will be played from 1st December in Rawalpindi followed by the second game to be scheduled on 9th December in Multan. The final game of the series will take place in Karachi from 17th December.
Both the teams have named their squad for the series and soon England will travel to Pakistan to prepare themselves for the games. The Three Lions are currently in Abu Dhabi and are getting all the areas right ahead of the series.
With just a few days remaining for the first game, England has added the 18-year-old bowling allrounder, Rehan Ahmed, to their Test squad for the tour of Pakistan. The young all-rounder was added to the team after his performance in the three-day warm-up fixture between England Lions and England impressed coaches.
Rehan, who is part of Leicestershire, has so far played three first-class matches in which he has a fifer and scored a century. If he makes his debut for England he will be the youngest player to represent the team in Tests.
Fans on Twitter react as Rehan Ahmed gets included in the England squad for the Test series against Pakistan
As Rehan Ahmed was included in the England squad for the Test series against Pakistan, fans on Twitter reacted hilariously. They compared his age with veteran pacer James Anderson. Notably, the pacer made his international debut 20 months before Rehan Ahmed was born. Here are some of the reactions:

As far as I remember the first cricket🏏 match I ever watched was a England🏴 vs Sri Lanka🇱🇰 ODI in 2002 or 2003, James Anderson was bowling in it. https://t.co/WkOs2N9Jm2
