Ruman Ahmed is a talented batter and useful off-spinner, who relocated to England on a spouse visa in early 2021 to join his British Wife.

The Kent (Ashford) based former Bangladeshi professional is looking to make waves in English club cricket over the next few years.

Ahmed played first-class cricket for the best part of a decade, playing 39 matches since his debut in 2009. During this period, he scored 1,614 runs at 26.03 with a century (106) and 10 fifties.

He enjoyed three prolific seasons, hitting 349 runs at 38.77 (2014/15), 375 runs at 41.66 (2015/16), and 226 runs at 25.11 (2016/17), but only featured in 3 first-class matches thereafter.

A former Bangladesh Under-23 representative, Ahmed was a star performer in the Sylhet League, hitting 2 double centuries in 50-over matches. He was also part of Sylhet Division's victorious National League campaign in 2018/19.

A hard-working, and highly driven cricketer, during his first UK stint in 2021 he scored 582 runs at 25.30 for Glossop in the Greater Manchester Cricket League.

The following two seasons he was prolific for Ashton in the GMCL, racking up 1,997 runs at 46.44 in League and Cup cricket, including a sensational double hundred (200*).

Last summer, now playing as a Cat 1 local player, Ahmed played for Folkestone in the Kent League hitting 517 runs at 25.85 alongside 16 wickets at 13.63.

Given his success, the club have re-signed Ahmed for the 2025 season.
