Rashid Khan bags ICC T20I Cricketer of the Decade award: What does it mean to Afghanistan?

India TV News  

Because the world is so mesmerised by the shimmer and rapid nature of the T20 format, it has forgotten what resurgence and persistence look like. A few years ago, a naive Rashid Khan, probably playing tape-ball cricket in a nation not particularly known for its intimacy with cricket, could only dream of what he's become today. Fast forward to the present day and it turns out that Rashid, currently 22, pipped the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to bag the prestigious ICC Men's T20I Player of the Decade award. What's even more impressive is the fact that Rashid climbed up to win the top honour in just five years, also elevating Afghanistan cricket during the course of his journey so far. Amazing to be someone who's changing lives of youngsters: Rashid Though many would tag Rashid as a T20 league player and not a T20 Internationals' bowler, the fact that Afghanistan operates from a stadium in India says much about the Asian country's on-going growth in international cricket.
