**London** – Leg-spinner Adil Rashid holds the third position among England’s all-time leading wicket-takers in One Day International (ODI) cricket, according to recently released data. This makes him the most prolific English spinner in the format, and one of only three Englishmen to surpass 200 ODI wickets.
The list, highlighting England’s top ODI wicket-takers, reveals a strong showing from both pace and spin bowlers. James Anderson leads in Test wickets but ranks only 11th in ODIs. Top spot in ODIs belongs to Darren Gough, boasting the best bowling average among the top five. Other notable names include Stuart Broad (4th), Chris Woakes (5th), and Andrew Flintoff (6th), each with multiple five-wicket hauls. The list also includes several former England players, such as Ian Botham and Paul Collingwood, showcasing the evolution of England’s ODI bowling attack. Interestingly, Moeen Ali, the only finger spinner on the list, recently retired from international cricket.
