Rashid Khan, Afghanistan’s leg-spinner will not join Lahore Qalandars for the final of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season seven.
Reports suggested that Rashid Khan may fly to Lahore and appear in the final on Sunday but the 23-year-old can’t play as he is in Bangladesh for national duty.
Rashid Khan Won’t Feature In Lahore Qalandars Final Clash Against Multan Sultans
Previously, few reports had claimed that the Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan may fly to Lahore to represent Lahore Qalandars in the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season seven final on Sunday.
“It would’ve been great to be part of Lahore Qalandars and play alongside lads in the final,” he tweeted.
Rashid Khan added that playing for Afghanistan is his first priority and wished Lahore Qalandars’ captain Shaheen Shah Afridi and his teammates best of luck for Sunday’s final against Multan Sultans.
It must be noted that the star spinner left Lahore Qalandars’ squad after playing nine matches where he took 13 wickets. Australia’s Pakistan-born leg spinner Fawad Ahmed was named his replacement for the remainder of the competition.
