Ahmed becomes latest English cricketer to run into visa problems in India
England's Rehan Ahmed, June 2023

REHAN AHMED has become the latest England player to run into visa problems in India, but the tourists are optimistic the teenage leg-spinner will be available for the third Test in Rajkot.

The 19-year-old was initially denied entry upon the England team returning to India on Monday after a mid-series break in the United Arab Emirates because he only held a single entrance electronic visa.

The issue is different to what Shoaib Bashir encountered last month and Ahmed was granted an emergency two-day visa, allowing him to train with his England team-mates in Rajkot this morning.
