“Rashid Khan is worried: he can’t get his family out of Afghanistan” Kevin Pietersen
Recently, Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen revealed the chat which he had with the Rashid Khan on boundary ropes. Pietersen told that Rashid is worried because he can’t get his family out of Afghanistan. Also, he lauded leg spinner for playing cricket despite soo many things going on in his life. Kevin stated:
“There’s a lot of things that are happening at home. We had a long chat here on the boundary talking about it and he’s worried: he can’t get his family out of Afghanistan and there’s a lot of things happening for him.“For him to turn up and put on a performance like this under the pressure that he is currently under… for him to be able to forget that stuff and navigate his story and continue the momentum that he has – I think that’s probably one of the most heart-warming stories of this Hundred so far.”
You’re the BOSS @rashidkhan_19 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/cAdmAXD9C2
