T20 World Cup: As Soon As That Belief Comes, You Can Beat Any Side, Says Rashid Khan
T20 World Cup: Afghanistan’s leg-spinner Rashid Khan will be captaining the side for the first time in a men’s T20 World Cup through the upcoming edition of the tournament and he’s of the opinion that once the belief of beating top sides comes, then they can defeat anyone.
Afghanistan are placed alongside co-hosts West Indies, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Uganda Group C of the Men’s T20 World Cup. Afghanistan have never entered the knockouts of the T20 World Cup, where they have been present since 2010. At the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, Afghanistan scripted stunning wins over England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Netherlands.
“The confidence is there because we have already beaten West Indies a few times in T20s. We beat them in ODIs as well. And, more importantly, there are seven to eight guys playing in the IPL, which is the best preparation ahead of the World Cup.”
