Rashid Khan aspires to play more test matches in the future
“To improve your bowling, you need to bowl extended periods,” says Afghan spinner Rashid Khan.
Afghan cricketer Rashid Khan told Reuters on Friday that he wishes for more opportunities to play Test matches against elite nations.
Since Afghanistan was granted Full Membership of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2017, Rashid has played in five of the country’s six Test matches.
The squad was set to play a one-off Test in Hobart in November, but Cricket Australia postponed the match due to concerns over the future of women’s cricket in Afghanistan under Taliban control.
Rashid expressed sadness for losing out on the chance to put his abilities to the test against players like Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne.
“It disappoints you as a player because you always hope to play big teams,” the Afghani player, who is currently playing for Gujarat Titans in the IPL, said.
“It’s all about getting better at cricket and developing new skills.”
“We were all looking forward to going, but things don’t always happen as planned.” I’m hoping we’ll be able to play them shortly.”
Rashid Khan, who is well-known in Twenty20 leagues throughout the world, understands the value of test cricket in a player’s development.
“To improve your bowling, you should bowl extended spells. I sincerely hope that we will be able to play more Test matches in the coming years.”
Rashid has also represented several countries’ cricket teams, including England, India, Australia, Pakistan, and the West Indies, thanks to his ferocious leg spin.
“Wickets and conditions differ depending on the nation. He stated, “You have to think differently, and that adds something more to your game.”
“That event strengthens your mental fortitude.” It has been quite beneficial to me.”
