ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: [WATCH]- Former SRH Players David Warner And Rashid Khan Have An Argument During The AUS vs AFG Match

During the 2023 World Cup game between Australia and Afghanistan at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium on November 7, a heated argument unfolded between David Warner and Rashid Khan.

This happened in the fifth over of Australia’s innings after a verbal exchange between Azmatullah Omarzai and Mitchell Marsh. Rashid got involved in a conversation with Warner while he was speaking with Marsh.

Notably, Warner and Rashid were on the same team, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 2017 to 2021. You can watch the video here:
