Record-breaker Rehan Ahmed outlines Ashes dream after early England heroics

England history maker Rehan Ahmed says it would be a "dream" if he was picked to play in the Ashes, having enjoyed a fairytale Test debut against Pakistan in December.

After becoming England's youngest ever men's Test cricketer, Ahmed picked up 5-48 in Pakistan's second innings as he produced a game-changing spell that helped Ben Stokes ' side seal an eight-wicket win and a historic 3-0 series whitewash.

Now the 18-year-old has his sights set on the Ashes as England look to regain the urn from Australia for the first time since 2015, although he remains pragmatic about his chances of selection. "I still dream of it, but at the same time I take each day as it comes," he said of the Ashes.
