Biography
Adil Rashid is regarded as one of the most exciting all-rounders the country has to offer. A leg-spinner and fine lower-order batsman, he became the first Yorkshire-born cricketer of Pakistani origin to play for the county in 2006. After making a significant impression, he then worked his way through the England Under-19s, Lions and Performance Programmes before making his senior debut at the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. Since then he has established himself as Yorkshire’s number one spinner, while also providing crucial runs down the order.
