Afghanistan's teenage sensation Rashid Khan has English counties in a spin
The 18-year-old -- who earlier this month produced the fourth best bowling figures ever in ODI cricket, taking seven for 18 to destroy the West Indies batting line-up in Saint Lucia -- has taken 63 wickets in 29 ODI's and 42 in 27 Twenty20 appearances for his country.
Afghanistan teenage leg spin ace Rashid Khan is being courted by two English counties according to Wednesday's Daily Mail. The 18-year-old -- who earlier this month produced the fourth best bowling figures ever in ODI cricket, taking seven for 18 to destroy the West Indies batting line-up in Saint Lucia -- has taken 63 wickets in 29 ODI's and 42 in 27 Twenty20 appearances for his country.
However, according to the newspaper the problem regarding Khan -- who is higher than any of the English bowlers in both the International Cricket Council (ICC) ODI and T20 rankings -- is whether he passes strict work visa regulations. Khan recently had a successful Indian Premier League debut with Sunrisers Hyderabad where he impressed one and all with his guile.
