Adil Rashid reacts during a match.- AFPFollowing England’s series win against Pakistan on Thursday, leg-spinner Adil Rashid believes that his team is in the good place ahead of the T20 World Cup defence.Despite failing to impress in the ODI World Cup 2023, England are eager to do well in the T20 World Cup once again after winning the title in 2022. They’ll be leaving for the Caribbean on Friday morning. “We feel confident and we’re positive,” Rashid insisted.“It is different conditions and obvious playing in a tournament there is different pressure as well, but we’re in a good place.“Hopefully we go out there, stick to our guns, stick to the positivity we have and hopefully we can go a long way."Rashid also lauded England's pacers for doing well in the fourth T20I on Thursday. “It was a bit wet, the ball was flying through and seeing Jof and Woody, when you watch them bowl it is exciting,” Rashid added.“Seeing the ball zip off the pitch, the keeper taking it really high and it’s exciting to have two quality, world-class bowlers in our squad.“As a unit I thought we bowled exceptionally well. I know they got off to a great start, but that’s T20 cricket. It happens a lot. The first powerplay they might go for 50 or 60, but in the middle and the end, we came back well with spin and the seamers came back very well as well."England T20 World Cup squadJos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark WoodEngland T20 World Cup fixturesTuesday, 4 June 2024v Scotland, Barbados, 10:30 AM LocalSaturday, 8 June 2024v Australia, Barbados, 01:00 PM LocalThursday, 13 June 2024v Oman, Antigua, 03:00 PM LocalSaturday, 15 June 2024v Namibia, Antigua, 01:00 PM Local Adil Rashid Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ: اسکریچ کارڈز خریدیں
