Adil Rashid Facts

1. In 2006, Adil had become just the 3rd Yorkshire-born player of Asian heritage to play senior-level cricket for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. He was the first player of Pakistani origin to do so.
2. He made his county championship (first-class) debut later that year, at the age of just 18. In that match, against Warwickshire County Cricket Club, he had produced a magnificent haul of 6/67 in the 2nd innings to demolish Warwickshire‘s middle order and win the match for Yorkshire.
3. In a 2007 county championship match, against Surrey County Cricket Club, he had scored 86 runs in the first innings and was involved in a partnership of 190 runs with Jacques Rudolph for the 6th wicket. This had set a new partnership record for the 6th wicket for Yorkshire against Surrey, beating the previous record that had stood since 1902.
4. In June 2015, in an ODI match against New Zealand, he and Jos Buttler were involved in a massive partnership of 177 runs for the 7th wicket. This had set a new partnership record in ODIs, by a fair margin, for that wicket. For good measure, he had also picked up 4 wickets in the 2nd innings of the match.
5. In the 2nd match of England’s 2018 test series against India, he had become the first English cricketer for 13 years to have completed a Test match without batting, bowling, or taking a catch. This had happened because the pitch and overhead conditions in the match had favored seam bowlers excessively, rendering spin bowlers on either side utterly useless.
6. In July 2020, he had become the first English spin bowler ever to take 150 wickets in ODIs.
