English cricket will have to get used to players specialising in T20, according to Adil Rashid.
The leg-spinner recently recommitted to red-ball cricket by signing a one-year cross-format contract with Yorkshire. But while he’s happy to have done so, and to be a part of England’s Test team again, the 30-year-old also warned that others will follow his previous decision to concentrate on short-format cricket.
“There’s always the ultimate goal of playing Test cricket, playing for your country, but as time goes on things may change,” he told talkSPORT.
Rashid had taken a lot of criticism, particularly from Yorkshire quarters, after his original decision to quit red-ball cricket.
“At the time I didn’t really feel much, I wasn’t really taking note of what people were saying,” he said.
“I don’t follow what people say about me, good or not so good. It doesn’t faze me in the sense that I knew what my task ahead was and what I want to achieve. Whatever decisions I made I know there are no regrets. I don’t look back.”
