If he gets swing he can be effective. HE got about 2 to 3 degree swing.

Khaleel Ahmed last played for India in February 2019. Since then, India have played a staggering 104 T20 Internationals. This lengthy gap puts him ahead of Devon Thomas (102), Rony Talukdar (100), Matt Henry (93), and Sahibzada Farhan (92) for the most T20Is missed during an international comeback.
Khaleel Ahmed is an exciting talent from Rajasthan, India, known for his aggressive left-arm pace bowling. With speeds exceeding 145 kph, his raw pace and dynamic approach make him a thrilling prospect in cricket. His performances in domestic and international circuits continue to impress, showcasing his potential as a key player for the future.

All the hard work done by the bowlers around him and he still almost managed to lose the match with that pathetic 18th over bowling 5 wides.
He’s not him.
Once he seemed to have some potential but I saw him tonight after ages and he seems finished.
Should be the end of his international career.

Khaleel is under pressure. He knows he only got a chance because Arsh and Bumrah are rested. He is even behind Siraj in the pecking order.
When someone is in and out of team, it becomes difficult to make an impression on the selectors. Something that Sanju Samson is also going through. Too much pressure and they choke.

He's got a decent string of matches but is still not able to make a mark. Still extremely inconsistent, although he gives some sparks, he then reverts to being a classic 90s hit-me trundler.
Today he was horrible. With 20 runs to defend in 3 overs, he gave away 6 wides in just 1 over. More than the technical aspect, it betrayed his inability to bowl under pressure.
Also, is largely a liability on the field (although that can be fixed over a period).

Everyone has dealt with that pressure at multiple times in their career to be where they are.
It’s not an excuse but a separator of ordinary folk from genuine talent.

The player who shines under pressure in such a crunch situation is destined for a bright future but unfortunately, Khaleel missed the boat here. He had a chance to show the selectors that he should at least be sitting on the bench for the squad if not playing but he missed the trick here.

It must be the worst feeling in the world when you have to go through the motions while you are aware internally that you lost your future.
The looks on Khaleel and Sanju Samom’a faces yesterday were telling. Both knew it’s the end for them and didn’t belong there.
At least IPL and domestic cricket now pays decent money so they are financially secure.
I agree with your post. But Khaleel is better than Avesh Khan and Mukesh Kumar in terms of skills. He has shown enough in IPL that he is a very good bowler with new ball and can also bowl good yorkers at death.
To me Khaleel should at least be on the bench ahead of Mukesh and Avesh Khan.

Khaleel Ahmed signs for Essex
Essex Cricket are thrilled to announce the signing of Indian seamer Khaleel Ahmed until the end of the season.
Born in Tonk, Rajasthan, Khaleel Ahmed is a left-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed batter and will be available to play for the Club until the conclusion of the 2025 season – available for both the Rothesay County Championship and the Metro Bank One Day Cup.
A product of India’s Under-19 squad for the 2016 World Cup, Ahmed has represented the senior Indian Men’s team on 29 occasions, which includes eleven ODIs and eighteen T20Is.
Since making his ODI debut in 2018 against Hong Kong, Ahmed has taken 15 wickets in his 11 ODI appearances, at an average of 31.00 and an economy rate of 5.81, with best figures of 3-13.
Featuring for Rajasthan in India’s domestic List A structure, he has played 63 matches, taking 92 wickets at an average of 27.92, with best figures of 4-35.
Ahmed’s abilities are not limited to white-ball cricket; he has also represented Rajasthan in first-class cricket on 20 occasions. In Indian conditions, he has taken 56 red-ball wickets at a healthy average of 27.67, with best figures of 5-37.
The 27-year-old was part of the India A squad that faced the England Lions at the start of June, playing in the first game at Northampton.
Ahmed took four wickets in the first innings from 19 overs, dismissing James Rew, George Hill, Chris Woakes, and our very own Jordan Cox.
On signing for the Club, Khaleel Ahmed said: “I am thrilled to sign for Essex.
“I have heard a lot about the rich history of the Club, and I’m excited to be part of it and will look to make an immediate impact.
“I’m looking forward to playing at Chelmsford, meeting the loyal Essex Members and fans, and delivering performances they can be proud of.”
On the signing of Khaleel Ahmed, Director of Cricket Chris Silverwood said: “We are really pleased to be bringing Khaleel into the Club.
“We were impressed with his performances for India A and firmly believe he can strengthen our already very strong seam attack.
“As a left-arm seamer, he offers something different and will add a new dynamic to the squad in both the One Day Cup and the County Championship.”
Khaleel Ahmed is set to wear the number 71 and will meet up with the squad in York, to be available for selection against Yorkshire.
