Ranchi. Due to family reasons, England leg spinner Rehan Ahmed had to leave the tour of India midway. In its statement, the England Cricket Board has said that Rehan will not return to the series and there will be no changes in the England squad.
19-year-old Rehan took part in all three Test matches against India. In three Tests, Rehan added a total of eleven wickets to his account at an average of 44. This also includes six wickets taken for 153 runs in Visakhapatnam.
However, he was not a part of England’s playing eleven in the fourth Test match being played in Ranchi. The reason for Rehan being dropped from the playing eleven was not his return home. After the announcement of England’s playing eleven at 1 pm on Thursday afternoon, the situation of returning home arose before Rehan.
Rehan was also involved in England’s final practice session on Thursday. He will leave for England on Friday. Earlier this month, Rehan was stopped on reaching Rajkot. However, the paperwork was soon completed and he played the Rajkot Test. Rehan had taken three wickets in his name in Rajkot.
Shoaib Bashir has been given a chance in place of Rehan in the fourth test. Along with Bashir, another spinner Tom Hartley is present in England’s playing eleven. Hartley has taken the maximum number of 16 wickets for England so far in this series.
