What's the story?
Afghanistan has been one of the inspirational teams emerging in world cricket during recent times. Despite lacking basic infrastructure, the team fought all the hardships strongly and many of their players are currently ruling the world of cricket. One among them is the leg-spin sensation, Rashid Khan, who has now become a household name across the globe.
However, the star all-rounder suffered a major bereavement in his family as he lost his father on Sunday.
The unfortunate news was made public by his senior teammate Mohammad Nabi, who took to Twitter, saying, “With deep sorrow I have been informed that Afghanistan National Cricket team player and my dear friend, Rashid khan’s father passed away. I would like to express my deep condolences to Rashid khan and his family. May Allah award his father the Jannah.@rashidkhan_19."
The background
The 20-year-old is presently playing in the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) for Adelaide Strikers. With five scalps in three matches, he has been in good form with the ball.
The heart of the matter
The cause of Rashid's father's death is still unclear. Meanwhile, former Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) President Shafiq Stanikzai also came with a tweet expressing his condolences with the leg-spinner and his family.
