Adil Rashid has envisioned playing in the 2023 World Cup but the England leg-spinner is more hesitant about the prospect of returning to Test cricket.

Rashid will turn 35 during England's defence of their crown, an age where many would at least be contemplating retirement, but it is widely recognised leg-spinners often bloom in the autumn of their careers.

The slow and low Indian surfaces would also favour Rashid although the Yorkshireman's troublesome shoulder which required two injections simply to get through last year's World Cup means he is wary of looking too far ahead.

"Now is a good time to do gym because I'm not playing any cricket. It's going well, I'm looking to get stronger and hopefully when the time comes to play cricket the shoulder is as strong as it's ever been."

The pandemic has a significant drawback for Rashid and many Muslims around the world with Ramadan starting next week, a time when many families gather together to celebrate the Holy Month.

Rashid, though, insists he and his family will be following the Government guidelines as he said via conference call: "Meeting up with family and friends is not in the question with what is going on in the world right now.

"The main thing is for us to stay at home, stay safe and look after each other."
