(Reuters) -All-rounder Rehan Ahmed is set to become England's youngest men's test cricketer after being named in the side for the third test against Pakistan.

Ahmed will be 18 years and 126 days old on Saturday when the final test match of the series kicks off in Karachi. That will beat the mark set by Brian Close, who was 18 years and 149 days old when he played a test for England in 1949.
