Uncapped leg-spinner added to England Test squad for Pakistan series
Rehan impressed the coaching staff during the three-day warm-up fixtures for England Lions against the Test squad in the training camp in UAE and has been added to the senior squad.
Acknowedging that he is "not the finished article", England Men’s red-ball head coach, Brendon McCullum, said that "Ben (Stokes), myself and the rest of the coaches like how he approaches his game.
"The experience of being part of the squad in Pakistan will be hugely beneficial for him, and he will add to the make-up of our squad.”
If he gets to play Rehan will become the youngest player to play Test cricket for England Men's team.
