The Yorkshire County Cricket Club has announced that Adil Rashid has signed a new three year contract extension, keeping him at Headingley until the end of 2019.
Rashid had a year to remember in 2015 after taking a five-wicket haul against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and finishing as the top wicket-taker in the Big Bash whilst playing for the Adelaide Strikers.
The leg spinner is also a regular member of England’s limited overs teams and Rashid is delighted to be committing his future to Yorkshire.
“I’m delighted to sign a contract extension with Yorkshire,” said the 28-year-old.
“The last year has been great for me after winning the Championship, playing for across all three formats for England and experiencing the Big Bash at Adelaide Strikers.
“I love representing my home county and I hope to win more silverware with Yorkshire in the years to come.”
Yorkshire’s Director of Cricket, Martyn Moxon said: “I’m thrilled that Adil has signed a contract extension.
“Adil is a special player across all three forms of the game and had a memorable year in 2015, both in England and overseas. He has been a very important player for Yorkshire and has played a crucial part in our recent success.
“We look forward to seeing Adil continue to perform for Yorkshire and on the world stage.”
