To go down to meet the King, it will be exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s obviously nice to get recognised for things you do on and off the pitch, not just for myself but for my family and the people who have helped contribute.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m humbled how well things have gone for me. The most important thing is to work hard, train hard, believe in yourself. You can achieve anything regardless of where you come from and whatever your background.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rashid made his debut for Yorkshire in 2006 at the age of 18, having previously worked his way up through the ranks having joined the Academy at 11-years-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He took a debut six wickets in a County Championship win over Warwickshire at Scarborough.<br>He went on to score 10 hundreds and top 500 wickets in a first-class career which yielded Championship titles in 2014 and 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said: \u201cHeadingley will always be special for me. I have always been here. I have played my cricket here since the age of 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have come through the whole set-up, made my debut and have played here alongside Yorkshire legends. It holds a big place in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Adil-1_23-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47357\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Picture: Alex Whitehead\/ SWpix.com)  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rashid helped play a big part in both World Cup wins &#8211; including a crucial role in helping England win the ICC T20 World Cup last November following a nail-biting five-wicket win over Pakistan at Melbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He returned 2-22 from four overs, taking the key wicket of fellow superstar Babar Azam.<br>\u201cThose two World Cups really come to mind in terms of career highlights,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs an international cricketer or an international sports person full stop you really want to be winning World Cups \u2013 that&#8217;s what you really want to achieve as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s something that myself and the team have been lucky enough to be part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo win with England back-to-back \u2013 holding the 50-over and T20 titles at the same time, that\u2019s something really special that has not been done before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe 50-over win in particular was history in the making. To be part of a team to win that for the first time, that\u2019s something that will go down in history. But they are both as special as each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside his career in cricket, he runs the Adil Rashid Cricket Academy in Bradford with his brother to help inspire more children to get into the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is also an ambassador for the Overseas Plastic Surgery Appeal (OPSA) charity, which provides free facial surgery for poor children and young adults in Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rashid said: \u201cBradford is very important to me. That&#8217;s where I was brought up, that is where everything started.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI also think it\u2019s important for myself now that I pass on what I have in terms of knowledge to the next generation. So, as a result, that\u2019s why I\u2019ve opened the Adil Rashid Cricket Academy in Bradford to help the next generation of cricketers come through from Bradford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHopefully they will aspire to become professional cricketers and, if not that, aim high in life.<br>\u201cIt\u2019s always important to give back. I&#8217;ve always been the kind of person that tries to do stuff behind closed doors. But whenever I can help I want to. There are people out there who are less fortunate and it\u2019s my duty alongside the community to come together and help each other at any given time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo any aspiring young people out there, I would say, \u2018Work hard, believe you can achieve anything, set your mind to it and listen to your parents\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Darren Gough, Managing Director of Cricket for YCCC, said: \u201cThis is an immensely well-deserved and proud moment for Adil Rashid and his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe has had a fine career and has developed into a fine cricketer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe played for Yorkshire for many years before England called and he has become an international star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is well deserved for what Adil has done on and off the pitch and the Yorkshire Family is very proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yorkshire and England star Adil Rashid has been awarded an MBE in the King\u2019s Birthday Honours List.
