Rashid Khan says the country will pick him if he has to play for the country no matter what club he plays for. Rashid Khan’s comments came at a time when players from South Africa, New Zealand and other countries are skipping home matches and playing in the IPL.
Rashid’s withdrawal from the Pakistan Super League final to play for Afghanistan was in the news. The player who played for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last five years in the IPL is this time in the Gujarat Titans. He is also the vice captain of the team.
“I first came to many leagues playing for Afghanistan. So the country is big to me. No matter what you achieve in life, the country cannot be forgotten. Whatever the situation, I have no qualms about the question of country or club. No one would have known me if I had not played for Afghanistan. All I was given was my country, Afghanistan.
When the country needs you, it is unjust for you to reject the need. Nothing can break the commitment to the country, ”said Rashid Khan.
Rashid Khan is the fourth highest wicket-taker in international T20I cricket. He has taken 290 wickets in 143 matches in three formats of cricket.
