“That will be interesting to see; it is big money”. I had a one-season deal so that I will go back to the auction. Hopefully, Sunrisers will take me to the auction. I did well for them,” the spinner said.

Rashid an inspiration

Khan has been an inspiration for the war-torn nation. He has not only helped his country progress but made the youngsters dream of a good future.

“There has been a good change over the past six years. Before there was no plans or education for young people but now there are schools and universities which is the biggest difference,” said Rashid. “The young generation now thinks we should do something for the country. It was very difficult at a time, but we were used to it. It is a good thing when someone is helping your country.” he concluded.
