Rehan impressed the coaching staff during the three-day warm-up fixtures for England Lions against the Test squad in the training camp in UAE and has been added to the senior squad.

Acknowedging that he is "not the finished article", England Men’s red-ball head coach, Brendon McCullum, said that "Ben (Stokes), myself and the rest of the coaches like how he approaches his game.

"The experience of being part of the squad in Pakistan will be hugely beneficial for him, and he will add to the make-up of our squad.”

If he gets to play Rehan will become the youngest player to play Test cricket for England Men's team.

"We know he’s not the finished article and has raw potential," McCullum added.

Rehan was England's second-highest wicket-taker in the ICC Men's Under-19 World Cup in 2022, taking 12 wickets in four matches at an average of 12.58.

The series will kick off with the first Test in Rawalpindi on December 1 followed by the next two matches in Multan and Karachi.
