LONDON: Leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been added to the England squad as a cover for Moeen Ali for the second Men's Ashes Test against Australia to be held at Lords from June 28, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Friday. Ali returned to Test cricket after retiring from the format in 2021, due to lead spinner Jack Leach suffering a stress fracture to his back. But Ali also suffered an injury to his spinning finger while playing in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
With a big blister on his spinning finger after bowling many overs on the trot in first innings, Ali couldn't bowl significant overs in the second innings, which resulted in England losing in a dramatic fashion by two wickets to Australia. IANS
