He is currently on a white ball-only deal at Yorkshire, with his last red-ball game a Test match at the start of 2019 in the West Indies. Rashid didn’t rule out trying to win a place back in England’s Test side, but said his decision would rely on a multitude of factors, including his fitness, with the wrist-spinner having struggled with a shoulder injury in recent times.

“Once September comes, if I have the motivation, my shoulder is 100% and I feel I can get back into red-ball, that is something I would consider,” he said.

“After the end of this year it’s about me sitting down and actually thinking about that decision again of playing red-ball or white-ball,” he said. “If I don’t make that decision of playing red-ball and just sticking to white-ball then there’s no Ashes for me. But if I do make that decision and I play red-ball, and my shoulder allows it and I’m fully fit, then that’s something that I could look towards. But that’s something that I’ve got to earn. It’s all in the air at the moment in terms of red-ball.”
