Rashid Khan is one of the top-quality leg spinners in limited overs format. He made his One-day international debut for Afghanistan in 2015. Since making his debut, he is the leading wicket for Afghanistan with 125 wickets from 59 matches (44 innings) with an economy of 3.90 runs per over.

He holds the record of the fourth best figures in ODI cricket of 7/18 against West Indies.

In the warmup game against Pakistan, Rashid Khan took 2 for 27 in 9 overs and restricted the run flow in middle overs with Mohammad Nabi. He can contribute lower down the order.

If the conditions help the spinners, Rashid Khan would be a major threat to the opposition teams. His role will be vital in middle overs to restrict the run flow and pick wickets.
