Khan and Co. opened their Asia Cup campaign with a convincing eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Dubai on Saturday (August 27). They restricted the island nation to a paltry 105 before chasing down the target in only 10.1 overs.
Speaking ahead of their second game, against Bangladesh, Khan said that despite the Afghanistan players playing plenty of franchise cricket, international cricket is their top priority. The youngster said, as quoted by NDTV:
Although the 23-year-old didn’t pick any wicket against Sri Lanka, he bowled economically, bagging figures of 4-0-12-0. Left-arm pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi was the pick of the Afghan bowlers, registering figures of 3.4-0-11-3.

Rashid Khan said that he sees himself as a bowling all-rounder capable of batting anywhere. The leg-spinner reflected on Hardik Pandya’s heroics against Pakistan and noted how the Team India all-rounder has raised his game.
Pandya earned the ‘Man of the Match’ award against Pakistan. He took three wickets and remained unbeaten on 33 off 17 deliveries, hitting the winning six to fashion a five-wicket win for his team.
