- Adil Rashid confident about England's chances of T20 World Cup title.
- England team to leave for the Caribbean on Friday.
- He praises England's fast bowlers for their performance.
Despite a less-than-stellar performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, England is keen to replicate their 2022 T20 World Cup success. The team is set to depart for the Caribbean on Friday.
“We feel confident and we’re positive,” Rashid affirmed.
He acknowledged the unique challenges of tournament play, adding, “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 praised England’s fast bowlers for their performance in the fourth T20I.
“It was a bit wet, the ball was flying through and seeing Jof and Woody, when you watch them bowl it is exciting,” he remarked.
Rashid continued, “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."
