ABU DHABI: Leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has officially been added to England's Test squad for the upcoming Pakistan tour.

Rehan, who featured in Bahawalpur Royals in Pakistan Junior League (PJL)'s inaugural season, has got a wild card entry to England's squad for the all-important ICC Test Championship tour.

Leicestershire's leg-spinner, if gets a chance in playing XI during the Pakistan tour, will become England's youngest-ever Test player.

First Test between Pakistan and England is scheduled in Rawalpindi from December 1-5. Multan will host second match of the series, with the series concluding in Karachi.
