ADIL Rashid is relishing the opportunity to get back into action with Yorkshire tomorrow after a busy but progressive winter away with England.

Bradfordian Rashid returns to White Rose colours for the Specsavers County Championship clash with Warwickshire at Edgbaston after being rested from the opening-round defeat to Hampshire on England and Wales Cricket Board orders.

Rashid played the majority, but not all, of England's matches across all formats in Bangladesh, India and the West Indies – and the 29-year-old is confident his game has developed thanks to help from former Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who spent time as part of England's backroom staff.

"It's been a good winter, a challenging one and a long one but at the same time very enjoyable," said the leg-spinning all-rounder, who should replace Azeem Rafiq in the Yorkshire line-up.

"I think it's gone quite well. Having different people around in the England set-up has been good. Saqlain was there this winter and he's had a big part to play in my development.

"Also just playing against the world's best was a good experience. Playing out there in those conditions, learning how to bowl there, it went well and I can't complain."

Rashid is available for Yorkshire's next two Championship matches, at Warwickshire and Hampshire, and the first three Royal London Cup one-day matches later this month and into May.

He will then be involved in England's busy summer schedule, with one-day series against Ireland, South Africa and the West Indies added to the Champions Trophy. England's first limited-overs international takes place on May 5 and their last on September 29.

That is not including seven Tests against South Africa and the West Indies in August and September, which Rashid would hope to be involved in at some point.

"I've had a couple of weeks off but now I'm really looking forward to getting back into things, especially with Yorkshire," he said.

"It should be good and I'm excited. I feel fresh coming into the season. Hopefully I can work hard and train hard and hopefully it will pay off in the games.

"There's a lot of cricket to be played both internationally and for Yorkshire but my method is just to look to take a day at a time and a game at a time.

"I very rarely look too far ahead at playing in this match or that. I'll look to perform every day and see what happens after that."

Yorkshire will have seamers Matthew Fisher and David Willey available after proving their fitness in second-team cricket following respective groin and shoulder injuries.

The likelihood is that one of them will play instead of Josh Shaw, with Ben Coad retaining his place after eight wickets against Hampshire.

Yorkshire have not been beaten by Warwickshire in the Championship since 2011 and not at Edgbaston since 2006.

They have won three of their last four matches there, including two by an innings in 2013 and 2014. Last year's clash was a weather-affected draw.

Warwickshire lost their opening clash with Surrey at The Oval by an innings on Monday.

Captain Gary Ballance said: "We know it's going to be tough – but we've played well against them in the last few years, so hopefully we can do that again.

"If we can play the good cricket we played against Hampshire for the whole four days, we'll win more games than we lose."
