Teenage prospect Rehan Ahmed has been added to England's Test squad for their upcoming tour of Pakistan, meaning he could become their youngest men's Test cricketer.
Former captain Brian Close currently holds the record, having made his debut in 1949 against New Zealand at the age of 18 years and 149 days.
