“I try to do what I can,” said Adil Rashid, an English spinner who was given an MBE.

King Charles gave Adil Rashid an MBE for the important work he has done for cricket. The leg-spinner has been on England‘s team for 19 Tests, 125 ODIs, and 95 T20Is. Rashid has had a great career so far, winning both the ODI World Cup and the T20 World Cup. Rashid has taken 183 wickets in ODIs, 95 wickets in T20Is, and 60 wickets in Tests.

Adil Rashid said he is happy that the King’s Birthday Honours list recognised his work.

The 35-year-old man said that he is grateful for what he has, but he also knows that there are other people who don’t have as much. So, the experienced cricketer promised to give back to the sport as much as he could through his school, the Adil Rashid Cricket Centre in Bradford, where he lives.

Rashid was reported as saying, “I’m so thankful for what I have, and I know some people don’t have as much as me, so I try to give what I can.” “I’ve opened the Adil Rashid Cricket Centre in Bradford. I want Asian players to come through there, but it’s also a place where people can go every day. It’s for sports and the neighbourhood.”

On and off the pitch, it’s up to each of us to do our best. Adil Rashid  said that he wants to be an example for people of Asian descent by playing the game well.

“I do my best to be a good example. Cricket has had a rough few years, with ups and downs. Things don’t always go as planned,” he added. “It’s up to each of us to do our best both on and off the pitch. We show people from these parts of England that they can get to the top by playing cricket.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The spinner was born in Bradford, and he played for England when they went to Bangladesh earlier this year. He took eight wickets in the three-game ODI series, which was the most of anyone.
