For Deciding Pakistan Test England Pick Rehan Ahmed As Third Spinner
England has recalled Rehan Ahmed as one of three spinners for the decisive third Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, following a series that is currently tied at 1-1. The 20-year-old leg-spinner joins Shoaib Bashir and Jack Leach in a spin-heavy lineup, while Gus Atkinson has been included as a fast bowler. This decision comes after England’s loss in the second Test, where Pakistan’s spinners dominated, taking all 20 wickets.
Ahmed made his Test debut in December 2022, becoming the youngest player to represent England in the format. He notably took five wickets on debut, showcasing his potential as a key player for the team. England’s batting order will also be crucial, with Harry Brook emphasizing the need to adapt their strategy against Pakistan’s spin attack.
The match is set to begin on October 24, and England aims to secure a series victory after previously winning 3-0 during their last tour of Pakistan. With pitch conditions expected to favor spin, Ahmed’s inclusion could prove vital for England’s chances of success in this high-stakes encounter.
