Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan again

Rashid Khan has been appointed as the captain of Afghanistan’s T20I team for the third time. Mohammad Nabi stepped down as captain after the last T20 World Cup. So again the Afghan Cricket Board had to rely on Rashid Khan. However, the star leg-spinner left the captaincy last time as there was no agreement with the board.
After getting the leadership, Rashid said, “Captaincy is a huge responsibility. I have experience leading the country. The boys are great, I have a good understanding of them, and I am comfortable. We will try to stay together and work hard to keep everything in order. So that we can bring pride and joy to our country and nation.

Rashid was the T20 captain for three months in 2019. In all, Afghanistan has won 7 out of 16 matches played under Rashid. Under his leadership, Afghanistan won the Test against Bangladesh in 2019. Rashid’s first assignment in this round will be the three-match T20 series against the UNITED Arab Emirates in February.
