Rashid Khan has played for the Adelaide Strikers since the BBL’s inception in 2011.
Adelaide Strikers star Rashid Khan has confirmed he will not be playing in the Big Bash League (BBL) this season. The Afghan leg-spinner, who plays for Adelaide Strikers, is one of the most talented cricketers in the world and was expected to play a big role for his team this season. But after failing to come to an agreement with Cricket Australia over his visa, Rashid will not be playing any part in BBL 2019/20.
Rashid Khan made his international debut against Zimbabwe in October 2016 and was Afghanistan’s first-choice spinner at last year’s World Cup. He also played a key role in Afghanistan’s victory over Ireland at Lord’s during their historic Test match debut last year.
Why is Rashid Khan leaving BBL?
Cricket Australia have told news.com.au that they are working hard to get him back into the competition next season, but it seems unlikely that he will be able to play at all this season.
