Afghanistan’s Concerns and Rashid’s Performance
Rashid Khan’s injury has also raised concerns for the Afghanistan national team, as they have a one-off Test match against New Zealand next month. Rashid is a key player for Afghanistan, and his availability for the Test match is now in doubt. It remains to be seen if he can recover in time to participate.
In The Hundred, Rashid Khan had performed well before his injury. The leg-spinner took 9 wickets in five matches at an impressive average of 16, and he also contributed 44 runs with the bat. His last match was challenging, as Kieron Pollard hit five consecutive sixes off his bowling, leading to a two-wicket defeat for the Trent Rockets. Despite this, Rashid’s overall contribution to the tournament was significant.
