Afghanistan all-rounder Rashid Khan is likely to return to the Big Bash League for the (2023-24) after revisiting his decision to boycott the tournament due to Cricket Australia’s decision to pull out of a three-match series against Afghanistan in 2022.
Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmed, and Izharulhaq Naveed have put their names for the upcoming Big Bash League and the tournament is slated to be held between December 7 to January 24. The all-rounder has been a valuable asset in the T20 format of the game. He plays franchise cricket around the globe and has established himself as one of the greats in the shorter format of the game.
Following Cricket Australia’s decision to pull out of the series against Afghanistan, Rashid Khan took to his social media account to express his disappointment with Cricket Australia, as he said that he would consider not playing Big Bash League in the future.
“I am really disappointed to hear that Australia have pulled out of the series to play us in March. If playing Afghanistan is so uncomfortable for Australia, then I wouldn’t want to make anyone uncomfortable with my presence in the BBL. Therefore, I will be strongly considering my future in that competition,” he added.
According to the reports in the Australian Associated Press, the leg-spinner has made himself available for this edition of Big Bash League. Rashid Khan is one of the few bowlers who is dominating batsmen, in an era of bat-dominating balls. The terrific leg-spinner has come over the top against high-quality batsmen with his consistent bowling in the shorter format of the game.
The 24-year-old has been one of the best T20 players in the world and has once again proved his worth in recent years, with the ability to contribute to the team’s success with both bat and ball. The All-rounder form will be crucial for Afghanistan’s success in Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023.
Afghanistan will be a team to watch out for the upcoming marquee events in 2023, as they have more experience playing in Subcontinental conditions over the years. Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Noor Ahmad, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz have experience playing in franchise leagues and they will look to bring their top game against formidable opponents in the mega events later this year.
