"We're very surprised that England have called Adil up after not playing red ball cricket this season. Neither has he expressed a desire to do so. I hope that England know what they're doing to Adil and the county game."
Those the words of Yorkshire chief executive Mark Arthur after leg-spinner Adil Rashid was included in England's squad for the first Test against India, despite making himself unavailable for red-ball cricket with the Tykes.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan also expressed frustration on Twitter that Rashid, whose last first-class appearance came in September, has leapfrogged the likes of Somerset duo Jack Leach and Dom Bess.

However, England seamer Stuart Broad told Sky Sports News that Rashid is a "proven international performer" and "natural wicket-taker" and that those traits could prove key in a "big series".
"I think the selectors were very keen to have someone spinning the ball away from the right-handers," Broad said. "He's been in form in the white-ball stuff and bowled some beautiful deliveries against Australia and India so will be coming in with lots of confidence.

Stuart Broad says Adil Rashid will go into England's Test series against India brimful of confidence.
"You want natural wicket-takers in your side and Adil is a proven international performer, which I think is important when you go into really big series. You want people who have withstood pressure throughout their career - Adil is someone who's done that."
Here is a smattering of the other reaction to Rashid's call-up, with the 30-year-old now poised to add to his 10 Test caps and make his first five-day appearance on English soil at Edgbaston from Wednesday.
