Farhan Ahmed, just 17 years old, has made history for Nottinghamshire by taking the club’s first-ever T20 hat-trick. He did this during a Vitality Blast match against Lancashire, showing amazing skill and confidence on the field. Farhan is the younger brother of England’s Rehan Ahmed and the son of a former Pakistan cricketer who now drives a taxi in England to support his family.
In this match, Farhan bowled brilliantly and finished with figures of 5 wickets for only 25 runs, which is excellent for T20 cricket. His hat-trick came in the final three balls of his spell, which helped Nottinghamshire win the game by four wickets.
Thanks to Farhan’s superb bowling, Nottinghamshire chased down the target easily and won the match with 28 balls left. His performance has made him one of the most exciting young players in county cricket today.
Farhan has already made headlines before. At just 16 years old, he became the youngest first-class player in Nottinghamshire’s history. He surprised everyone when he took 10 wickets in a single first-class match — a huge achievement for any player, especially one so young.
Cricket lovers and experts have praised Farhan for staying calm and focused during important moments. Many people believe that he, like his brother Rehan, has a bright future and may play for England one day too.
Farhan’s journey proves that hard work, talent, and family support can help young players reach big dreams. His hat-trick has written his name in Nottinghamshire’s record books and inspired many young cricketers to follow their passion.
