==Early career==

===Early promise===
Rashid showed promise from a young age: [[Terry Jenner]] spotted him as a 14-year-old,<ref name="Spinning into the spotlight">{{cite web |url=http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/story/256072.html |title=Spinning into the spotlight |access-date=12 May 2007 |last=McGlashan |first=Andrew |date=9 August 2006 |publisher=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref> and, in early July 2005, aged 17, he took 6–13 for Yorkshire's Academy (youth) team.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/82/82850.html | title=Sheffield United v Yorkshire Academy in 2005 | access-date=12 May 2007 | publisher=CricketArchive}}</ref> A few days later he hit 111 for Yorkshire Cricket Board Under-17s against their Cheshire equivalents in the Under-17s County Championship.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/82/82889.html | title=Yorkshire Cricket Board Under-17s v Cheshire Cricket Board Under-17s in 2005 | access-date=12 May 2007 | publisher=CricketArchive}}</ref>

In 2006, he played a number of games for Yorkshire Second XI, making four successive [[century (cricket)|centuries]].<ref name="Spinning into the spotlight" />

earned him the chance to make his [[first-class cricket|first-class]] debut.

Rashid made his county cricket debut against [[Warwickshire County Cricket Club|Warwickshire]] at [[North Marine Road]], [[Scarborough, North Yorkshire|Scarborough]], as a replacement for injured overseas batsman [[Darren Lehmann]].
