Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid has signed a new three-year contract that will keep him with the club until 2019.
Rashid rose to the fore last season with a five-wicket haul against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and finishing as the top wicket-taker in the Big Bash whilst playing for the Adelaide Strikers.
The 28-year-old, who is also a regular member of England's limited overs teams, is thrilled at signing his new deal at Headingley.
"I'm delighted to sign a contract extension with Yorkshire," Rashid said.
"The last year has been great for me after winning the Championship, playing across all three formats for England and experiencing the Big Bash at Adelaide Strikers.
"I love representing my home county and I hope to win more silverware with Yorkshire in the years to come."
Yorkshire's director of cricket Martyn Moxon said: "I'm thrilled that Adil has signed a contract extension.
"Adil is a special player across all three forms of the game and had a memorable year in 2015, both in England and overseas. He has been a very important player for Yorkshire and has played a crucial part in our recent success.
"We look forward to seeing Adil continue to perform for Yorkshire and on the world stage."
