Early life and career

Ahmed was in the youth set up at Nottinghamshire but left to join Leicestershire in 2017. Aged 13 he was already billed as one of the brightest prospects in English cricket having been invited to bowl at England and West Indies at Lord's and clean bowling Ben Stokes.[4]

In December 2021, he was named in England's team for the 2022 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.[5]

In April 2022, he was bought by the Southern Brave for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[6] Later the same month, he signed a contract extension to the end of 2026 with Leicestershire.[7]
