Afghanistan's premier leg-spinner Rashid Khan picked up his 400th wicket in competitive T20 cricket during the team's T20 World Cup match against New Zealand
Afghanistan spin bowler Rashid Khan has created history with Pakistan dismissing Mohammad Hafeez In the 23rd match of the ICC T20I World Cup.
The ICC T20 World Cup will belong to the spinners, Afghanistan's star leg-break bowler Rashid Khan has asserted, and said they can beat any team if they bat well in the showpiece.
The Afghan spinner also picked retired South African legend A B de Villiers, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and West Indian swashbuckler Kieron Pollard among his favourites.
The 2021 men's T20 World Cup marks Afghanistan's fifth appearance in the event since their first major appearance at an ICC event in the 2010 edition.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) is yet to officially announce Nabi's appointment as captain but the 36-year-old all-rounder tweeted that he has been chosen to lead the team.
Rashid, the current No.3 T20I bowler, said that his nation's cricket board didn't get his "consent" for the selected squad.
Earlier this week, a member of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) confirmed the nation's participation in the impending T20 World Cup in the UAE.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have confirmed that both players will be available for the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League from September.
Rashid, who is currently in England playing in a private league, is not able to get his family out of the country because of the ongoing turmoil in Afghanistan.
Rashid, who is ranked world no 2 among bowlers in T20Is, had earlier declined Afghanistan's T20I captaincy, saying that he believes he is more valuable as a player than as a leader.

Rashid bowled a miserly spell of 1/9 in four overs and then followed it up with 15 off five balls to help his franchise Lahore Qalandars beat Islamabad United in a PSL game on Wednesday night.
Rashid reasoned that it's important for a spinner to have a good wicket-keeper and nobody explains things better than the former Indian captain.
India skipper Virat Kohli is special since he follows his own process religiously even under pressure, not resorting to any shot which is not his strength, said Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan.
Afghanistan have been changing captains frequently and earlier this week named Hashmatullah Shahidi as their Test and ODI skipper.
"I am excited to be back with PSL and Lahore Qalandars," Rashid said in a Qalandars media release.
The 29 completed matches at the halfway stage of the tournament provided ample breathtaking performances to select the best XI from the season so far.
The much-criticised Chepauk track will host its 10th and final IPL game of the season in which both Pant and his opposite number David Warner would pray for a decent surface for their flamboyant batters.
