Early Life and Cricket Journey
Rashid Khan was born in 1998 in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. His family, including his ten brothers and sisters, lived in Jalalabad. They had to move to Pakistan for a few years because of the Afghan war.
Rashid grew up playing cricket with his brothers. He looked up to Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi and South African batsman AB de Villiers. He copied Afridi's bowling style. Even though he was good at batting at first, he became excellent at leg-spin bowling.
He studied computer science at Islamia College Peshawar until 2013. He got into the college because of his sports skills. He became well-known in 2014 after playing very well in matches in Peshawar.
On October 3, 2024, Rashid got married in Kabul. His three brothers also got married on the same day.
International Cricket Achievements
Rashid Khan started his international career in 2015. He played his first One Day International (ODI) match for Afghanistan against Zimbabwe on October 18, 2015. He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut against Zimbabwe on October 26, 2015.
Amazing Bowling Records
On March 10, 2017, Rashid took his first T20I five-wicket haul. He took five wickets for only three runs against Ireland. This was the best bowling performance by an Afghan cricketer in a T20I. He was also the first player to take five wickets in just two overs in a T20I match.
In June 2017, he took seven wickets for only 18 runs against the West Indies. This was one of the best ODI bowling performances ever. Afghanistan won that match, and Rashid was named the best player.
In February 2019, he took a hat-trick and four wickets in four balls in a T20I match against Ireland. This is a very rare and exciting achievement in cricket!
Test Match Debut
In May 2018, Rashid was chosen for Afghanistan's first-ever Test match squad. He made his Test debut against India on June 14, 2018. In this match, he gave away a lot of runs, which was a new record for a bowler in their country's first Test match. He was also one of the first teenagers to give away more than 100 runs in a country's first Test match.
In February 2019, he took five wickets for 82 runs in a Test match against Ireland. This was the first time an Afghan bowler took a five-wicket haul in a Test match.
Playing in the Cricket World Cup
In April 2019, Rashid was part of Afghanistan's team for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. The International Cricket Council (ICC) called him one of the most exciting new talents in the tournament. On June 1, 2019, he played his 100th international cricket match. A few days later, he played his 100th international match for Afghanistan.
In a match against England on June 18, 2019, Rashid bowled a very expensive spell. He gave away 110 runs in his nine overs, which was the most in a Cricket World Cup match.
Leading the Team
After the 2019 Cricket World Cup, Rashid was made captain of the Afghanistan cricket team in all three formats (Test, ODI, and T20I). His first Test match as captain was against Bangladesh in September 2019, which Afghanistan won. In this match, he became the first Afghan bowler to take ten wickets in a Test match. He was also the first cricketer to score a fifty and take ten wickets in his first match as a Test captain.
In November 2020, Rashid Khan was named the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Decade. In July 2021, he was again named the captain of Afghanistan's T20I team. He was also named captain for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup in September 2021. However, he later stepped down, saying he wasn't asked about the team selection.
On November 7, 2021, during a T20 World Cup match, Rashid took his 400th wicket in Twenty20 cricket. In December 2022, he was once again appointed captain of Afghanistan's T20I team. He also led the team in the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup tournament in May 2024.
