Also, let's get rid of the likes of Leicestershire.

Leicestershire took him from the Nottinghshire set up so a little wide of the mark

As a leggie that dreamed of being England's Shane Warne as a kid - (as has every young English leggie for the last 30 years), it is just so, so good to see a young kid start to fulfill that dream. There will be ups and downs along the way of course, but he looks pretty decent to me. I hope he has an excellent, long career in the England test side. Good luck, kid!

(Also wish I was even 5% as good as him  :D)

I'd probably take 3%! Hopefully he keeps progressing, as you say he could be very good and sounds like he's working hard to develop further. Think a leggie under Stokes captaincy could flourish.

Probably the same people who want to get rid of county cricket because it's rubbish.

Must say it did surprise me why ppl here were surprised he would be picked
Perfect time to pick him and stokes is Best Man to lead him
It’s pretty obvious the direction of the England team

There are no critical voices if you don’t do well batting or bowling

It’s just full steam ahead positivity

Is it that shocking that people were surprised? The guy is the youngest least experienced debutant in about 140 years! Hardly a predictable pick...

I don't remember anyone saying "pick Rehan Ahmed"!

Indeed, I don't think many on here were aware that he had been added to the touring party.

If you don’t even know who’s gone to Pakistan or is available how are you ever going to understand or appreciate picking him might be the right moment

Seems to me some of you have your favourites and that’s that

Where are you getting the "favourites" bit from?

I think people were rightly surprised that a young lad, even with the caveat of his immense promise, was selected so early in his career and at such a young age.

To say that he was expected to play at the outset of the tour would be stretching credulity.

Haven't seen anyone on here wishing him ill or expressing anything other than happiness and excitement at his success.

Great series, there's not been many times an England test side has been as exciting to watch as this.

The pressure on selection is phenomenal now too, mirrors how competitive it's been in the white ball teams which can only be a good sign. Someone will always get injured, but the competition for bowling spots in particular is impressive. Can't wait to see Jofra play under Stokes' captaincy, but who are you leaving out to get him back in? Does Broad get back in? Which spinner do you pick for NZ? And that's even before you try and squeeze 8 guys into the top 7. The new selection committee will be living in interesting times for sure.

It’s great we picked a young leg spinner and it’s as good an overseas series win as I can remember.

Lots of comment on here about Ahmed and he has been great in his first game.

Very little about Jacks performance so I think the favourites comment is completely the wrong way round.

Or Jack Leach’s performance on tour which has been excellent.
