Farhan Ahmed Sets County Championship Records

Farhan Ahmed, a 16-year-old off-spinner, made history by becoming the youngest player to take a five-wicket haul in the County Championship, achieving figures of 7-140 in his debut match for Nottinghamshire against Surrey. He surpassed the previous record held by Hamidullah Qadri, and his performance included dismissing several notable international batsmen such as England's Rory Burns and India’s Sai Sudharsan. Farhan's debut solidifies his status as one of England's most promising young talents, having also recently played for the England Lions and the U19 team earlier this year. His brother, Rehan Ahmed, who is also a record-setting cricketer, previously became England's youngest Test player. Despite Farhan's standout bowling, Surrey managed to score 525 in their first innings, showcasing the competitive nature of the match. Both brothers have expressed their dreams of playing together for England, highlighting their family's cricketing legacy.
