Rashid Khan, PSL: After the death of three Afghan cricketers in the attack by Pakistan, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is facing blow after blow. First the Afghanistan cricket team refused to play in the Pakistan tri-series. Now the team’s veteran spinner Rashid Khan has taken such a step, which may impact the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This Afghanistan spinner can boycott PSL.
What did Rashid Khan do?
Afghan cricketer Rashid Khan condemned Pakistan’s alleged air strikes in Paktika province. Three young cricketers were killed in this attack. After this attack, Rashid has now gone a step further and removed Pakistan Super League (PSL) team Lahore Qalandars from his ax handle. He has done this while expressing sympathy for the deaths in Afghanistan. Rashid Khan mentions Afghanistan, Sydney Thunder and Gujarat Titans in his profile, but not Lahore Qalandars. From this it can be inferred that maybe Rashid Khan will not be seen playing in PSL in the next season.

Rashid had expressed grief
This Afghanistan spinner expressed deep sorrow over this attack. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of civilian lives in the recent Pakistani air strikes on Afghanistan,” he wrote on social media He further wrote that targeting common people is completely immoral and barbaric. Following the loss of innocent lives, I welcome the decision of the Afghanistan Cricket Board to withdraw from the upcoming matches against Pakistan. I am with my people in this difficult time. Our national dignity should come first.
