Rashid hopes to emulate Warne

Yorkshire spinner Adil Rashid, who is being trained by former Australian leg spinner and now coach Terry Jenner, hopes he can emulate another Jenner protégé Shane Warne.

Twenty-one-year-old Rashid wants Jenner to help him become England's answer to Warne.

Rashid said: "I've been to see Terry twice in Australia and he has been a big influence on my development. I spoke to him two weeks ago. He was in England coaching at Yorkshire and I had a chat about my performances and where I am at the moment."

Jenner spotted Rashid six years ago at one the Brian Johnston Memorial Trust coaching clinics.

And Rashid said: "It's a friendship. I have worked with him since I was 15. I grew up with him and from talking with him I learn about myself and the game. I talk to him about my development and my game.

"To bowl leg-spin you have to learn the basics. Alignment and head position are the key for bowling consistently and getting a shape and spin," Rashid said.

Rashid has also picked the brain of Warne - the greatest leg-spin bowler in the history of the game.

"As I was growing up I watched Shane Warne bowling on TV and he was my role model."

Australia all-rounder James Hopes admitted the tourists were worried about the rookie leg-spinner.
