Afghanistan's recent teenage sensation Rashid Khan led his country in the World Cup Qualifiers where they defeated West Indies in the final to lift the Qualifiers trophy. Rashid garnered the attention of the cricketing world after his exploits in T20 cricket, later, he was picked by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL.

His consistent performances in the IPL helped him to make a name for himself. On the back of these performances, Rashid earned a spot in the Big Bash League(BBL) and the Carribean Premier League(CPL). Recently, the 20-year-old has worked on his batting and has transformed himself into a valuable all-rounder.

Afghanistan are equipped with plenty of batsmen in their line-up but their main bets will be their spin twins, Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Zadran. Rashid has picked up 118 wickets in 50 ODI innings with best figures of 7 for 18. The leg-spinner has changed the course of Afghanistan's cricket and he can further help his country to create some upsets in England next year.
