Is Rashid Khan solely responsible for the rise and impact of Afghanistan cricket team

Cricket is a team game. A single player may affect a team’s performance in a game or two. But not over the years.

Afghanistan Cricket has evolved unimaginably in the past half a decade. The credit for this can be given to its 3 main players.

1. Rashid Khan
2. Mohammad Shahzad
3. Mohammed Nabi

Mohammad Shahzad had contributed a lot to his national team. He gives a blasting start in most of the innings. He is one of the very few player who can make the ball cross the boundary in every direction of the ground. He is currently in the 6th position on the list of players to score most T20I runs. He is also a wicket-keeper, whose inspiration id MS Dhoni. It is a feast to watch his batting. He is the only player to score to international T20I half-centuries on a single day.

Mohammad Nabi, the handsome hunk of Afghanistan Cricket. Nabi is a Bowling all-rounder, who is famous for hitting the ball hard, coming down the batting order. He is also a great bowler, with a very good bowling average. Nabi has played in all the ODIs which were played by the Afghanistan Cricket Team. He is also the only player in the world to appear in all the first 100 ODI matches played by a team.

The Afghanistan Cricket team will ascent even more peaks in the near future with the advent of talented youngsters.

1. Mujeeb Ur Rahman
2. Najibullah Zadran

Unlike other international teams, Afghanistan has achieved the test status within a very short span, with their excellent performance in ODIs and T20Is. Hope we all witness the same in Test Cricket too.
