International Regular
His big failure as a bowler was on the tour to India.
Rashid who took 23 wickets @37 realised that he wasn't cut out for red ball cricket; Moeen took 10 wickets @65. However, he did ok with the bat there.
He played in Australia based on the 'he can also bat a bit' school of selection; he wasn't expected to be a potent force in bowling. He was dropped after that because he failed with the bat. My guess is that if he had scored a few runs in Australia, he would still be in the test eleven.
