Adil Rashid is England 's Mr Consistent - he's rarely injured and almost never out of form.

The 37-year-old has taken more than 300 ODI wickets in the past 10 years .

Rashid has a better average than all other leg-spinners in the Americas , Asia and Oceania .

He has an economy rate of less than six an over everywhere but in West Indies ( 6.32 ) Rashid says he loves the art of spin bowling and the magic it brings.

In 19 Tests, Rashid has taken 60 wickets at an average of almost 40 .

Leg-spin has become a key weapon in one-day cricket in the past 20 years .

In the 2000s , when Rashid broke through at Yorkshire , more than 10% of all overs bowled in Test cricket were sent down by leggies.

That has dropped to 3.7% in the current decade .
