Speaking of the same, the team manager Nazam Rai quoted that he isn’t sure whether Rashid Khan is available for the final game or not but he is sure that Rashid Khan is in his recovery phase and doing well to take the ball again. He feels Khan will be monitored for the next couple of days.
However, after some brief treatment he came back into the action and even took two wickets, but was visibly struggling through it all.
“I cannot say that he will be available (for the final),” Afghanistan manager Nazim Jar Abdur Rahim Zai told reporters after the match. “He is doing well and let’s see what’s happening. We will have two or three days for recovery. I hope it’s not that serious because he is our captain and main player and we will monitor him tomorrow and the day after (before taking any decision).”
Well, it would be interesting to see whether Rashid Khan will make into the final XI or not. Meanwhile, it would be a cracking contest, as two potential candidates are meeting in the final.
