Rashid’s call-up to the England squad for the first Test has divided opinion among the cricket community in England, given that he had stepped away from red-ball cricket in February to focus on white-ball cricket.

However, on the back of impressive performances against India in the limited-overs leg of the ongoing tour, the Ed Smith-led selection committee decided to award him with a Test recall, and that has generated a lot of heated debate.

Rashid hasn’t played a first-class match since September 2017, but could now feature against India in the first Test at Edgbaston on Wednesday August 1.

“It’s a crazy situation that we are employing him to play white-ball cricket and he can’t play that for us in important (T20) games because he is now playing red-ball cricket, which he has not wanted to play,” said Moxon.

“I have not gone anywhere, I have not thought about that but I will sit down with my dad and Martyn Moxon to see what they want.

“If it works out, great, if not then there are 16 counties out there and I hopefully I will get picked up by someone and start afresh. That is the last resort.

“If they cannot be happy with me being selected and it is causing problems, things have to be done.”
