Disappointed Rashid Khan praises Afghanistan after T20 World Cup exit

Rashid Khanย publiclyย statedย hisย dissatisfactionย onย Juneย 27ย afterย Afghanistan’sย lopsidedย semifinalย lossย toย Southย Africa at the T20 World Cup. Heย pointedย outย theย difficultย circumstancesย thatย affectedย theirย performanceย andย highlightedย howย erraticย T20ย cricketย canย be.

“As aย team,ย itย wasย difficult. Althoughย theย circumstancesย preventedย usย fromย achievingย ourย goals,ย weย couldย haveย performedย better. That’sย theย natureย ofย Twenty20ย cricket;ย youย haveย toย beย preparedย forย anything,” Rashid Khan told the media after the match.

Theย spinnerย thinksย hisย teamย hasย gainedย aย lotย ofย knowledgeย fromย thisย competitionย evenย afterย losingย inย the T20 World Cup semifinal.

“For us,ย thisย isย justย theย beginning;ย weย areย capableย ofย defeatingย anyย opposition. Weย justย mustย maintainย ourย procedures. Forย us,ย thisย hasย beenย aย fantasticย learningย opportunity.ย  Theย beliefย isย whatย weย takeย awayย fromย theย competition. Weย justย needย toย manageย challengingย andย stressfulย situations.ย Weย knowย weย haveย theย abilities,” Rashid Khan asserted.

“Yes, someย workย needsย toย beย doneย inย orderย toย extendย theย innings,ย particularlyย inย theย middleย order. Althoughย weย haveย hadย successย thusย far,ย weย intendย toย returnย andย putย inย evenย moreย effort,ย particularlyย inย theย battingย department.”

Talking abouth South Africa’s performance in the semifinal, the Afghanistan skipper said, “theyย bowledย prettyย well,ย inย myย opinion. Weย hadย aย greatย tournament,ย inย myย opinion,ย sinceย theย seamersย bowledย exceptionallyย effectively. Youย mustย have a strongย start.”
