Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne has showered praise on England all-rounder Adil Rashid, saying that the latter is a wonderful bowler,but needs to be more patient if wants to succeed at Test level.

Warne admitted that he had seen some glimpses of 'magic' in Rashid despite being a new comer, Sport24 reported.

Rashid, who made his debut in the ongoing Test series against Pakistan, went wicket-less in his 34 overs in the first innings of the first Test.

But his five-wicket haul in the second innings helped his side to bundle out Pakistan for 163 runs, thus ending the first Test in a dramatic draw at Abu Dhabi.

 

The Australian great said that he had taught Rashid ways to stay in the game and suggested some tactics against Pakistani batters.

Pakistan have taken a 1-0 lead in the series against England following their 178-run win in the second Test in Dubai.

England will now be aiming to level the series when they will take on Pakistan in the series decider on November 1 at Sharjah.
