Yorkshire legspinner Adil Rashid has been named the Cricket Writers' Club 2007 Young Cricketer of the Year.

"A lot of young players make a golden start to their careers without being able to sustain it but Adil has done so and I am delighted with his progress so far,” Martin Moxon, Yorkshire’s director of cricket, said. "If he can go on learning and improving we are going to have a seriously good cricketer on our hands."
