Rashid Khan re-signs with Sussex Sharks for 2019 T20 Blast

Rashid Khan has enjoyed a productive stint in the 2018 season of the T20 Blast

Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan has extended his contract with Sussex Sharks for the 2019 edition of the T20 Blast. In the ongoing season of the tournament, the 19-year old played a key role in propelling the Sharks to the Finals Day.

From 11 matches, Rashid picked 17 wickets at an average of 14.35 and economy-rate of 6.59. Unfortunately for Sussex, he will not be available for their crucial semifinal against Somerset on September 15. Rightfully so, the wrist-spinner will be turning out for his country in the Asia Cup.

Rashid stated, "I'm so happy and pleased to be back with Sussex in the 2019 T20 Blast. I had the best time this year; my teammates, the coaching staff and the management staff were amazing. I really enjoyed my stay and can't wait to come again and play for Sussex next year."
