England’s star spinner Adil Rashid is gearing up for another showdown with Babar Azam-led Pakistan as the green shirts prepare to visit England next month for a four-match T20I series scheduled in May ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
Rashid, currently ranked as the number one T20I bowler in the world, acknowledges Babar Azam’s prowess as a “class player” and one of the best in the world.
He expressed readiness to face Pakistan, noting their strong team and sizable fan base in England.
Rashid, who admires Babar’s batting, enjoys the challenge of bowling to him and hopes to dismiss him once again during the upcoming series.
England, the reigning T20 World Champions, are determined to defend their title, with Rashid expressing confidence in their team’s mindset and capabilities.
Reflecting on the leadership transition from Eoin Morgan to Jos Buttler, Rashid emphasizes the team’s consistent winning mindset and adaptability.
As a role model for young English cricketers of Pakistani origin, Rashid takes pride in his journey and hopes to inspire the next generation of spinners in England.
