"Spinners Will Play A Huge Role In This World Cup" - Rashid Khan Opines On The UAE Wickets

Afghanistan’s world-class spinner Rashid Khan has been sensational for any team he has been playing and he reckoned that the UAE wickets will certainly assist the spinners.

Rashid Khan, One of the best bowlers in the world, will be the trump card for the Afghanistan side in the T20 World Cup 2021. He is ranked number three in the ICC T20 rankings and he has some staggering records in the limited-overs format internationally.
