Jacob Bethell has skills to play Test cricket – Adil Rashid

As well as Bethell’s performances, captain Jos Buttler has returned from injury in good form.

In Sunday’s second match of the series, Buttler looked back to his devastating best as he plundered 83 off 45 balls, which included six sixes.

Buttler has been out injured for four months but said that absence made him “determined” to lead England’s latest white-ball reset, which will accelerate in the new year when Brendon McCullum takes over as head coach.

McCullum said part of his role is to cheer up Buttler, who he said had been “miserable” at times during England’s recent limited-overs troubles.

Rashid, though, says the smile is already back on the skipper’s face.

“He’s quite chilled and relaxed anyway but I think it’s natural for every single person, you can’t always be smiling,” he said.

“Playing cricket, you’re always going to have your ups and downs and maybe there are times you are not smiling but I think that’s part and parcel of being a cricketer.

“He showed his class when he came back in. He showed he’s capable of match-winning performances and how big of a miss he is when he’s not playing. He’s a world-class player and captain.”

Yorkshire’s Rashid was speaking to mark the launch of a new charity cookbook called Taste of Cricket, published by the England and Wales Cricket Board to celebrates the diversity of cricket teas.

Rashid has contributed, with a Moroccan tagine which is served at Lord’s his favourite.
