Rashid Khan extends county stint with Sussex

Kent Spitfires v Sussex Sharks - Vitality Blast

Afghanistan spin sensation Rashid Khan has extended his county stint with Sussex. He will be available for all the 14 group stage matches of the Vitality T20 Blast.

Sussex head coach and former Aussie bowler Jason Gillespie: "I'm very big on continuity when it comes to tournaments and, as a general rule, I prefer not to have players dropping in for a few games.

"Having said that, Rashid is the number one T20 bowler in the world and so having him in the team for any number of games would have added value - as we have already seen - but to now have him available for the whole of the group stage is absolutely wonderful."

Rashid was delighted to have extended his stay as well.

"I had always wanted to play more than the first seven games so when I heard I was now going to be free, I asked the club straightaway if they would like me to stay for the full 14 matches. Thankfully, they also wanted me to stay," he said.

"I'm really enjoying my time at Sussex so far and I'm looking forward to the rest of the matches here. Let's hope we can win many of them!"
