Adil Rashid is a star for England in white-ball cricket. He made his Test debut in October 2015 and took 5-64 on his debut.

He was England's leading wicket-taker in that series but they lost by an innings.

Adil Rashid has taken 60 Test wickets at an average of 39.83 in his 19 Tests so far. His most recent Test outing came in the first Test of the Test series in Barbados.
