Think stokes rates this guy so wants to see what he can do as series won so when of not now do you give a youngster a go?

If other captains who may get nervous if they got tapped about then wouldn�t bowl them I�d be nervous but feel stokes will back him remember warned got smacked round park in his first few but he had good backing which helped

Let�s see as bold move but that�s the way they are going to be and win or loose I�m behind it as otherwise feel these would have been 2 boring draws

Its a good call - why not give him a first taste of international cricket where its not life and death? Stokes will back him and not be afraid os using him, and it helps that he is also a decent bat so he will have multiple ways to get into the game.

The 6 hitting contest of North v South was a decent watch

Hope this kid is the real deal, of course not as much pressure after already winning the series so a good chance for him!

Great Decision to play the leg spinner in my opinion. Much better than previous conservative England managements method of throwing in a new spinner only at the end of an Ashes drubbing when most of the players cant wait for the series to end. They've seen what Jacks can do - why not have a look at Ahmed aswell? In a positive winning camp.

Reports of a spin friendly surface in Karachi so that should help when he does have twirl.

Rehan is going to be miles better than leach

Either now or very soon

Great move , not sure why you would not play him �

Bold call to say Ahmed will be better than Leach very soon, let alone claiming he's better now. Leach has 100 test wickets, Ahmed doesn't have 10 FC wickets.

He's a very exciting prospect and a potential genuine spin bowling all-rounder but it helps nobody to be making claims like that.

Not sure why it helps nooone ?

Leach is poor should have been dropped ages ago

Only reason he hasn�t no one to replace him fact

I might be wrong but isn't Leach one of the highest wicket takers this calendar year. Much improved because he has a captain who backs him

Ahmed will go down the same road like Simon Kerrigan, Scott Borthwick, Mason Crane and to a lesser extent Dom Bess

Glad you�re backing the young lad lol

We�ll see what happens �

A young player is not more likely to succeed if he is overhyped before his test career has even begun. An experienced player like Leach is not more likely to succeed if he is unfairly castigated.

Leach's stats stack up very well with pretty much every England spinner of the last few decades, and he only seems to be getting more effective with the new leadership of the test side.

It's just simply not true that Leach is a poor bowler.

We will find out , I don�t think he�s bothered by the hype or pressure

Takes his first wicket

Both of those things depend on the character of the players in question and their influences.

I dare say neither read CBF

Exactly Alba

Those kind of views are more of a reflection of one�s own psyche than Rehans
