Not Satisfied With Two Titles, Says Adil Rashid

‘I Have The Dream Of Three, Four And Five World Cups’

#New Delhi
England’s top leg-spinner Adil Rashid said he is targeting more silverware in ICC tournaments, saying he will not be satisfied with just two World Cup triumphs, and wishes to have three, four, or five trophy-winning campaigns overall.

Rashid took 1-25 in the second T20I against Pakistan at Edgbaston, which England won by 23 runs and could face them in the fourth T20 at The Oval. His next assignment will be England’s T20 World Cup title defence in the West Indies from June 1.

“As long as I’m fit enough and hungry enough, I’ll keep going. I don’t just want to be satisfied with two World Cups. I have the dream and the vision of three, four, and five World Cups. Remember, you only get one shot at this career so if England want me and need me, I’m here. It could be five years. It could be one year. The aim is to play as long as possible,” Rashid told Daily Mail.

He also said England’s supporters can be optimistic of the side successfully defending their T20 World Cup title.

“It’s a different format and one we became world champions in less than two years ago. We’ve got 15 match-winners and I believe it’s a stronger squad than when we won in 2022. Jofra Archer is back and that’s a big part.”
