Leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has insisted he is "ready" to make his England Test debut should the opportunity present itself this winter.
Ahmed, 18, has been named in the England Lions squad which will join the senior side in the UAE for a training camp and a warm-up match ahead of the three Test series against Pakistan in December. He is then expected to remain with the full squad as a travelling reserve and a net bowler.
The Leicestershire starlet was part of the England under-19s side which finished runners-up at the World Cup earlier this year and he notably ended the season with a maiden five-wicket haul and century in the County Championship against Derbyshire.
