It is what cricket is all about
The cricket expert replied to that tweet by Karim Sadiq, mentioning this is what cricket is all about.
Moreover, Rashid also dedicated the man of the match award from the last game to all the victims of the bomb blast which took place just a few days ago in Afghanistan. It’s fascinating to see all of them rooting for this young lad despite so much happening around them.
He had a big price tag attached to his name, but he never failed to impress the fans nor his management. Jones impressed by the act of Afghanistan fams tweeted to express his love for the picture.
