In the One Day Cup, he posted figures of 4-56 and hit 48 from 38 balls in a three-wicket win over Northamptonshire.

“He has poured his heart and soul into improving as a cricketer over the past year, and we have seen glimpses of some really strong performances from him across the season,” Gloucestershire director of cricket Jon Lewis told the club website., external

“The contract extension shows that we are keen to invest in him, and we believe there is a future for him here at Gloucestershire,” Lewis said.

Ahmed added: “Gloucestershire is a club that means a lot to me and to my family.

“Growing up in Bristol and having played for the club from a young age, continuing my career here at Gloucestershire is brilliant news, and I am looking forward to what the next year holds.”
