Rehan Ahmed's dad, Naeem, knew his son was going to be "something special" from a young age and has reflected on his journey to the top after the leg-spinner became the youngest ever men's Test cricketer for England.
At 18 years and 126 days old, Ahmed broke a 73-year-old record held by the legendary Brian Close when he was handed his Test debut in the final game against Pakistan in Karachi. Naeem was invited to join the team huddle as Ahmed was presented with his England cap by Nasser Hussain.
Ahmed has been on England's radar long before his debut, having notably dismissed both Ben Stokes and Sir Alastair Cook in the nets when he was just 11 after receiving an invite from then MCC head coach Steve Kirby.
