Is it fair to say Adil Rashid would have had a much better career at the international level if he wasn't representing England? Fair to say - Yes. The team's long researched aversion to any kind of spin has meant that a promising career has never quite taken off - at any format of the game. Come to think of this - Rashid made his One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 (T20I) debut way back in 2009, but then had to wait six long years before he could bowl in whites. Rashid's Test selection came on the back of two back-to-back county championship wins for Yorkshire - his long loved club. Rashid had a very slow and painful start to his Test sojourn - getting smashed for almost 5 runs per over on his debut against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi. One of the major complaints about Rashid was his inability to string together quiet overs - he had the ability to take wickets - and he showed that aspect as well in the same Test - grabbing his maiden five-wicket haul. While the series against Pakistan was an educative experience, Rashid was expected to deliver the goods when he was chosen as the main spinner during England's arduous 7-Test tour of the sub-continent - with two Tests lined up against Bangladesh and a further five against India in 2016. Albeit against tough opposition, this was Rashid's chance to shine. Rashid featured in all the seven Tests and finished with a haul of 30 wickets - not bad for a leg-spinner against the mighty sub-continental batsmen. But his consistency was sorely missing, there were as many as five four-wicket hauls, but none of them were converted into five-wicket hauls. The wickets came at a cost as well - not even once in his 12 bowling innings did he concede less than 3 RPO. England only managed one win out of seven, losing five and drawing one and Rashid was sent down the pecking order. Rashid didn't play a Test since the India tour for some time and his chances of gaining another 'Three Lions' cap looked bleak. While his Test future didn't look good, Rashid became a vital part in the scheme of things in the new-look England ODI squad. He became a valuable asset for the Morgan led side as England brought about a bit of a renaissance in ODI cricket after the 2015 World Cup.
