BPL 2016: 6 overseas players to watch out for

#3 Rashid Khan

The teenager has been one of Afghanistan’s stars in international cricket

Afghan leg-spinner Rashid Khan has been going from strength to strength ever since he emerged on the international cricketing scene late in 2015. The 18-year old has shined for Afghanistan in both limited-overs formats so far and has also made a useful contribution with the bat.

Rashid has claimed 19 victims in 14 T20I matches so far at a fantastic average of 19.78 and an economy rate of under 7. His ODI figures are also highly impressive with 27 wickets in 16 matches including best figures of 4 for 21 in a match against Ireland.

The 2016 edition of the Bangladesh Premier League will see Rashid Khan in action for reigning champions Comilla Victorians. Considering his immense talent and the success of leg-spinners in the T20 format, the Afghanistan cricketer will surely be one of the overseas players to look out for.
