Leg-spinner Adil Rashid might have ended his summer sour note with Yorkshire, however, he remains a key player for the England squad as he and the team prepare for a long winter.
Rashid’s decision to miss the Yorkshire County Championship at Lord’s impaired his summer. So much so he felt compelled to issue a statement, citing fatigue and a family illness for not coming to the ground, for the biggest game in Yorkshire’s history since the 1960s.
While his future in Yorkshire seems uncertain one reason behind his pullout was to prepare for England’s long winter in Bangladesh and India. England's Bangladesh visit started with a warm up 50 over the game in Fatullah. England and India face-off in their first test next month in Rajkot.
