Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan faces a setback

KABUL – Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan faces a setback and may be left out of the game against Bangladesh.

Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan, who hurt his left hamstring during the final league stage game against Bangladesh, is in doubt for their repeat clash on Tuesday, 24 September, in the final of the tri-nation series, also involving Zimbabwe.

The 21-year-old sustained the injury while fielding during the eighth over of Bangladesh’s successful chase at Chattogram on Saturday, 21 September.

Afghanistan had already secured qualification for the final, so defeat wasn’t as big a concern as the injury to their captain and most accomplished T20I player. He vinced in pain as he pulled up and was attended to by the team physio before hobbling off the ground
