Rehan Ahmed celebrated the ‘best day of my life’ after taking two wickets as the youngest England men’s Test cricketer in history.
Aged just 18 years and 126 days Ahmed broke a 73-year-old record when he walked out to play in Karachi and his leg-spinning skills helped dismiss Pakistan for 304 on day one. All five bowlers used by England got on the scoreboard with Jack Leach taking 4-140 from his 31 overs to become the leading wicket taker in the world for the year so far.
But from the moment Nasser Hussain presented him with his cap before the start of play right up until the teams walked off at the close, the day was all about Ahmed. “It was the best day of my life,” he said with 2-89 to his name.
