Rehan sends message to England with ton and five-for in Lions win

Rehan Ahmed (108 off 100 balls) struck 11 fours and five sixes at No 3, before claiming 5-60 with his leg spin in the 80-run win; the Lions have won all seven of their matches on tour so far, following a 3-0 sweep in the T20 series by leading 4-0 in the five-match ODI leg

Rehan Ahmed served the England selectors a reminder of his all-round talents by hitting a hundred and taking five-for in the Lions' fourth unofficial ODI win over West Indies A.

Rehan (108 off 100 balls) struck 11 fours and five sixes at No 3 as the Lions - who had already clinched the series, leading 3-0 - posted 330 after winning the toss in St Kitts.

The all-rounder then claimed 5-60 with his leg spin as the tourists bowled their opponents out for 250 overs in reply.

The 22-year-old has played five Test matches, 11 ODIs and 14 T20s for England since making his debut as an 18-year-old in 2022.

James Rew (51) and Jack Haynes (57) also cracked fifties during the Lions innings, the former sharing in a 137-run partnership with Rehan for the fourth wicket.

Keacy Carty (51) and Jyd Goolie (51) both hit half centuries for West Indies A but they, as well as Alick Athanaze (41), failed to kick on from encouraging starts as the hosts slipped to another defeat.

The Lions will look to clinch a 5-0 series sweep - to go with winning the T20s 3-0 - with another victory in their final ODI of the tour on Monday.
