“It was nice to make a batsman go for a cut on the back foot and spin it back in. That’s a nice feeling for any spinner that bowls a variation that a batsman doesn’t pick and gets a wicket. I’ve probably not bowled them as much and the main reason was probably because I’ve got a bit of a shoulder problem,” said Rashid, reported AFP.   

“Before the shoulder, I was confident bowling everything but once you have a niggle it becomes a bit harder with the rotation — the arm gets a bit lower and you don’t find that snap. But I knew that was a big weapon for me… I knew I still had to bowl it even if I was in a bit of pain. Now I can get it back to my best.”

“Morgs always had the faith in me, from day one until now. There are going to be games where you don’t go well and games where you go well but he was confident in me. One hundred percent he’s the best captain I’ve played under. He knows my game now inside out and I’ve been with him for four years, through good times and not so good times,” Rashid added.
