Adil Rashid achieves record milestone for England

Leg-spinner Adil Rashid became the first-ever England player to get 200 ODI wickets.

Rashid is already England’s leading spinner in the format, with Moeen Ali (111) and Graeme Swann (104) the only other spinners to take more than 100 men’s ODI wickets. Sophie Ecclestone also has 100 ODI wickets for the women’s team.

Rashid achieved the feat when he dismissed Glenn Maxwell (7) in his sixth over in the second England-Australia ODI at Headingley. Maxwell tried to cart the leg-spinner out of the ground but hit straight to deep mid-wicket.

Rashid played the first five of his ODIs after making his debut in 2009 but had to wait for almost six years before he featured again in the format. After his comeback Rashid became a white-ball regular, and along with Moeen Ali formed a potent spin partnership for England in ODIs.
