Test Match Special · History made at Hundred Auction · 12 Mar 2026 podcast

Adil Rashid was a real priority for us and as soon as we missed out on him we had to jump into that overseas market and there were a number of bowlers available to us who we thought could fill that role but I think Abrar over the last little while has been a proven wicket taker in all phases of the game.

I think he's unique in the amount of variations he has.

And a lot of, particularly domestic English players, will never have seen him before.

So we hope that first sight factor will really go for us and put a lot of pressure on teams.

Plus the fact that Bond and Headingley is incredibly difficult.

So we wanted someone with a bit of mystery about them.

Were you aware of that?

Well, I think you couldn't help but be aware of it.

But we went into the auction with every player available.

And like I said before, if we got Adil Rashid, then we wouldn't have gone down this road.

But as soon as that option came,

Was there any conversations amongst your management hierarchy about players that you could or couldn't sign?

I mean, it is from a certain country, but we're looking at players.

We're looking at a person who can contribute and who has obviously a high skill level, high track record, and can be hopefully part of a winning franchise, and that's our priority.
