Adil Rashid

Adil Rashid Biography

Born and bred in Yorkshire, Adil Rashid is a bowling all-rounder whose considerable ability with both bat and ball have impressed keen followers of county cricket for years. A right-arm leg-spinner who loves to give the ball air, Rashid is also an extremely useful left-handed batsman lower down the order, especially in First-Class cricket (he even has a 180).

Rashid made his ODI debut in 2009, but it was not until 2015 that he got an extended run with the team post England’s horrific ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Rashid was part of England’s first home series since the World Cup — against finalists New Zealand, no less — that won the series 3-2 and earned the tag ‘New England’. Rashid himself had a productive series, taking 8 wickets and scoring 115 runs.

With Moeen Ali seemingly securing his place as England’s specialist Test spinner, Rashid has not been able to break into the side in the longest format, though he remains a contender and a part of the squad. One feels that he could give Moeen a challenge for a spot in helpful conditions.
