England cricket stars Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid were asked if they would play for Pakistan, the country their roots lie in. They gave intriguing replies.
In a candid conversation during a podcast, England cricketers Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali were asked if they would play for Pakistan in international cricket. While the host made his choice of international cricketing nation obvious, the England duo gave some intriguing responses despite admitting that they have been asked such questions in the past. Adil said that he would rather try to make it through the system in the country he was born than play for another country. For Moeen, it was playing international cricket that mattered more than the choice of the nation.
"If I was born here I'd look to play if I was born in Pakistan if I born in India wherever I was born yeah surely that's the country that I will try and play for," Adil said when posed the question during Beard Before Wicket podcast.
The host of the show said that he considers himself 'British-Asian' and would like to play for Pakistan over England, if given a choice. Moeen called the statement 'crazy', while also asserting that the thought never crossed his mind.
Adil Rashid also shared his thoughts on the topic, saying the possibility of playing for Pakistan over England never crossed his mind.
"It's never crossed my mind to say right I'm going to go Pakistan and play for them. Why would I?
