When asked about his fitness after making his debut in international cricket, Rashid said, "When I made my debut against Zimbabwe on 18 October 2015 and then played the World Cup, I was overweight at that time. My fitness was not at the level it should be, but when I started participating in the league and met with players. Then I realised that I have to maintain my fitness if I want to do great things."
