“There’s one thing that always walks around the media, people say, the best second Asia team, that, we didn’t say that, but I think we played in the past, and that’s where we got the brand. If you look at the Asian Cup, World Cup semifinals, World Cup.
Rashid Khan expressed his frustration out of the mockery of Afghanistan, who faced post-elimination and described criticism of the unfair. “They bring something to the table where people discuss it and make fun of it. And I feel like I do today, the more you make fun with someone, the more people like you. And I feel it goes to a different level. And then it doesn’t look nice,” Rashid added.
He admitted that the platoon has not played much T20i lately: “To be honest, we did not play much T20i as a team. Before the Tri-series, the last we played was at the World Championship that was seven months ago.

Looking forward Rashid reiterated that Afghanistan’s primary goal is to prepare in the world, not just immediate results. “I think every game is very competitive. It’s not like we’re not playing a competitive cricket in the Asia Cup. For us, every game is competitive. We’re not just here to have fun, enjoy and then come back.
Rashid summarized the impact of immediate results and emphasized a greater goal. “From now on for us, it is losing to us, for us, but we can improve as a well -prepared page for the World Cup, that’s a goal. If we now win and win the World Championship, that’s more worrying for me,” he said.
