Please check my example of a free abelian group that has the same rank as its subgroup

Is the following correct?

The infinite group of integers $\Bbb Z$ under the operation of addition is a free abelian group with generator $1$. The subgroup $2\Bbb Z$ is also cyclic (with generator $2$) and thus the same rank as $\Bbb Z$.
