Less than three months after becoming England's youngest ever men's Test cricketer, Rehan Ahmed made history once again as he became their youngest ever men's ODI cricketer when he was handed his debut against Bangladesh in Chattogram.
With Will Jacks ruled out of the remainder of the tour with a thigh injury, Ahmed replaced him for the final ODI at the tender age of just 18 years and 205 days old. In the process, he has broken a record held by the late Ben Hollioake who was 19 years and 195 days old when he made his ODI debut against Australia almost 26 years ago in 1997.
Ahmed was presented with his England cap by fellow leg-spinner Adil Rashid and the teenager is certainly in with a chance of making the 50-over World Cup squad later this year, given the tournament will be staged in more spin-friendly conditions in India.
