ADIL RASHID (top) and Rehan Ahmed are with the white-ball squad in Sri Lanka as England returned to training just 13 days on from the end of their troubled Ashes tour.

There was concern that the spin duo would be forced to miss part of the six-match trip, which acts as a warm-up for next month’s T20 World Cup, due to a delay in their visas for India being approved.

But the issue has been resolved and the pair took to the field in Colombo for the first of two training sessions before the first ODI on Thursday.

England face tournament co-hosts Sri Lanka in three ODIs in Colombo and three T20s in Pallekelle, near Kandy, before heading to Mumbai to begin their World Cup campaign against Nepal on February 9.
