England and Leicestershire leg-spinning all-rounder Rehan Ahmed is joining Delhi Capitals for the remainder of this year’s Indian Premier League campaign.

The 21-year-old, who has played 27 internationals for England across all formats, will leave immediately for his first taste of the IPL and will be away until at least the end of the group stages of the competition on 24 May.

Delhi are currently fifth in the standings, having won three and lost three of their six games so far.

Ahmed will miss the Foxes’ next four County Championship matches and at least their first two group games in the T20 Blast.

“We’re absolutely delighted for Rehan and incredibly proud as a club to see him earn this opportunity,” Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson said.

“It’s a real testament to the hard work of everyone within our academy and pathway system, and exactly what we strive for.

“We’re excited to watch him go and express himself, and we’ll be right behind him every step of the way before welcoming him back to Leicester.”

Ahmed has taken six wickets and scored 56 runs across the Foxes’ first two red-ball matches this season on the club’s return to the first division of the County Championship.
