Rashid Khan Unavailable for Most of Lahore Qalandars’ PSL 2021 Matches

World number one T20I bowler, Rashid Khan, will represent Lahore Qalandars in the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). However, fans of Lahore Qalandars will have to wait to see him in action for their team as Rashid will not be available for the first five games of the season.

Afghanistan is likely to play a series against Bangladesh during the first five matches of the tournament. Therefore, Rashid, along with other Afghanistan players, may miss the start of PSL. Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb-ur-Rehman are the other two Afghanistan players, which were picked up in the high profile draft last night.
