No Rashid Khan in BBL?
Currently injured, Rashid also missed the second half of The Hundred. And now with so much matches left to play, Rashid has opted himself out of the Big Bash League. The star all-rounder has been plagued with a back injured after the ODI World Cup following which he missed action for 4 months.
Back last year, Rashid Khan had his objections against Cricket Australia. This was mainly directed after CA criticized Afghanistan after Taliban’s rule in restricting freedom for women. As a result, Rashid decided to pull out of the Big Bash League. And now he is unwilling to play owing to a hectic schedule that lies before him.
