Adil Rashid’s exile cost England but they can right tactical wrongs in Australia | Taha Hashim

Taha Hashim argues that England's decision to drop leg-spinner Adil Rashid for three matches contributed to their tri-series failure in Pakistan. Despite Harry Brook scoring a historic double century against Sri Lanka, England suffered narrow defeats to miss out on the tournament final. Hashim highlights that coach Brendon McCullum favored Liam Dawson over Rashid due to conditions, leaving England without vital mid-innings control.

Hashim believes England can rectify these tactical missteps during their upcoming tour of Australia by fielding both Rashid and Dawson together. With Jofra Archer set to return alongside seam options like Josh Tongue and an evolving role for Sam Curran, Hashim suggests England's potent batting lineup and impending tactical adjustments mean there is no reason to panic ahead of the next World Cup.
