One Day Cup: India’s left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed has signed a deal with Essex to play County Championship and One-Day Cup games until the end of the 2025 season. Ahmed, 27, has been in England since the end of May as a member of the India A squad facing England Lions in red-ball games.
He dismissed James Rew, George Hill, Chris Woakes, and Jordan Cox, his teammate at Essex, in the first game at Northampton. Ahmed has played eleven ODIs and eighteen T20Is for India since 2018 and has picked 15 and 16 scalps in both respective formats.
“I have heard a lot about the rich history of the Club, and I’m excited to be part of it and will look to make an immediate impact. I’m looking forward to playing at Chelmsford, meeting the loyal Essex Members and fans, and delivering performances they can be proud of,” said Ahmed in a statement issued by the club on Saturday.
