All eyes on remodeled Rashid

Posted on 04/05/2007 in Yorkshire

In The Times, John Westerby looks at Adil Rashid, one of Yorkshire â.. and Englandâ..s â.. most exciting young prospects:-

At the age of 18, Rashid caused more than a few flutters towards the end of last season by taking 25 wickets in his first five championship matches for Yorkshire, as well as scoring useful runs. Jason Gillespie, the former Australia fast bowler and a Yorkshire teammate, described him as the best young cricketer in England.

This year, his progress will be watched closely and Rashid is aware that he has given himself a tough act to follow. And all the more so since, having suffered a stress fracture to his back this winter, he has had to learn to bowl with a remodelled action.
