"It's a great achievement," Rashid told the broadcaster. "I never thought about it, if you asked 10 years before this if I would get there. It's a proud feeling to be from Afghanistan and to be at that level where you top the table. DJ (Bravo) is one of the best T20 bowlers. It's a great honour and I'm looking forward to continuing."
