Friday, 16 February 2018 07:00

Adil Rashid has announced that he will play only white-ball cricket for Yorkshire during the 2018 season.

The England all-rounder is re-negotiating his contract with the Headingley club, although the 29-year-old's situation will be reviewed in the autumn.

He told the club website: "It's for this season coming and to see how it goes. At this moment in my career, I just feel that white-ball cricket is where I am best and where I feel I can develop and offer a lot more.

"It's not me saying I'm finished from red ball. It's just this summer I'm going to concentrate on white ball and see where that takes me. England and Trevor Bayliss were happy with the decision I made and are backing me fully."
