England’s Adil Rashid agrees new county cricket deal

England leg-spinner Adil Rashid has agreed a new one-year contract to play for Yorkshire in all formats of cricket. The 30-year-old was on a limited-overs-only deal with his county for the 2018 season. Rashid’s Headingley future had been shrouded in doubt after he was controversially selected in England’s Test squad for the recent series against India, despite his self-imposed exile from first-class cricket. Rashid was told by England national selector Ed Smith that he must be available across the board from the start of the 2019 English season to be considered for Test cricket.
