Rehan Ahmed is not 21 until August, but he has been in England’s plans in all three formats throughout the Bazball era.
The recurring question has been, though, what is Rehan?
Clearly, he is an ultra-confident youngster and a prodigious talent in various disciplines. But is he a rubber-wristed batsman who bowls a modern brand of flat leg-spin? Or a proper spinner whose batting is a bonus? Better at white ball, or red ball?
To butcher a line from Jimmy Ormond, some have even wondered if he is the best cricketer in his family given the emergence of his younger brother, Farhan Ahmed, who is 17 and seven matches into his first-class career with Nottinghamshire.
