That Rashid survived the cull that resulted from two failed World Cup defences in the past year says a fair bit about his enduring class, with the 36-year-old claiming his 200th ODI wicket over the weekend when Glenn Maxwell failed to pick a slider and holed out in the deep. Among spinners, only Saqlain Mushtaq and Shane Warne reached the milestone quicker than Rashid .
