COVERED 2025 Spring

COVERED 16 TRENTBRIDGE.CO.UK “I ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT GOD PLANS FOR THE BETTER AND THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. EACH TIME I GO OUT ONTO THE GRASS I’M JUST GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AGAIN.” Farhan Ahmed “For the new season, it’s a big priority for me to tick off the last remaining format (T20 cricket), but the most important thing is playing as much County Championship cricket as I can, because I know that’s where I will develop my game the most. “Even in April, which they always tend to say is the month of the fast bowlers I think I can actually get more wickets out of a seaming wicket than a turner. “On a turner, the batters know what to expect and they know it’s going to spin, whereas on a greentop, the ball actually skids on a bit more. “You’re still spinning it as hard as you can as well, so you’re leaving the batter between two minds as to what to expect from you.There’s an element of surprise where I have the upper hand against the batter. “Ultimately I always believe that God plans for the better and that everything happens for a reason. Each time I go out onto the grass I’m just grateful for the opportunity to play again.”
