Gakberha. After Mi Cape Town’s best performance in the third session of SA20, confident captain Rashid Khan said that he wanted to captain in the same way as Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup last year. Mi Cape Town is topped with thirty points by winning six matches in the third season of SA20 after poor performance in the last two seasons and not being able to make it to the playoffs. In the T20 World Cup last year under the captaincy of Rashid, the Afghanistan team surprised everyone and defeated Australia in the Super Eighth phase and then reached the last four.
Rashid told the media on the eve of the first qualifier against Parl Royals, “I wanted to captain Mi Cape Town in the same way as for Afghanistan in the World Cup. Coach Robbie Peterson said the same to me. This year I considered the players better and spent a lot of time with them, which I knew when to use which bowler to use. “He said,” The most important thing was to have a dialogue with the players. They should know what is going on in the captain’s mind and I should know what they are thinking. Could do better in the first year but we all learn continuously. ”
This experienced leg spinner said that this time every player has played with responsibility, which made their work easier. He said, “We played good cricket for the last two years but could not do finishing. This time we did well with the team effort and whoever got the chance, has contributed. Whether he is a batsman, a bowler or a fielder. The most important thing is that we are enjoying the game and are not careful about the results. ”
He said that he is getting a lot of help from having a leadership party in the team. Rashid said, “It is necessary to have a good leadership party in the team. Especially it was not easy for a foreign player like me to come here and the rest of the senior players helped me a lot. Everyone has taken responsibility together. “He said,” That’s why I do not have to think that I am taking decisions alone. I also listen to others who are quite experienced. These players have played a lot in these circumstances and have grown here. They have a good understanding of the situation and I get a lot of help from them.
