If playing Afghanistan is so uncomfortable for Australia, I will consider my participation in BBL: Rashid Khan

India Today  

Afghanistan’s star spinner Rashid Khan has said that he will be considering his future in the Big Bash League after Cricket Australia’s decision to pull out of a three-match ODI series against Afghanistan in the UAE. Australia has decided to call off their series against Afghanistan, citing the Taliban's recent announcement regarding restrictions on women's and girls' education and employment. The series offered ICC ODI Super League points, but due to CA's decision to forfeit the series, all 30 points will now go to Afghanistan. Earlier, Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq also said that he would be withdrawing himself from the BBL after Australia's decision to pull out of the ODI series.
