Many people credit the success of England's team to the aggressive batsmen and utility all-rounders. But the unsung hero of their limited overs setup is leg spinner, Adil Rashid. He has been a regular feature in England's team and has a huge impact in the middle overs.

Adil Rashid has picked the second most number of wickets in One-day Internationals since 2015 World Cup second only Afghan spinner Rashid Khan.

Given the fact that Afghanistan played most of their matches against lesser ranked teams and Associate nations, he is bound to take more. England having played against top teams in all conditions, Rashid has taken 116 wickets in 69 innings.

His wicket-taking exploits in the middle overs will be important when the poms start their journey come 30th May. He is also a handy batsman down the order. It was Adil who accompanied Buttler and helped England chase 206 from 114/8.
