Adil Rashid confident in England's T20 World Cup prospects after series win over Pakistan

Adil Rashid is confident about England's prospects in the upcoming T20 World Cup defense.

Departing for the Caribbean soon, Rashid emphasized the team's positivity and readiness for the challenge ahead.

“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."

He praised England's fast bowlers, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, for their performance in the fourth T20I against Pakistan.

“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."
