The Hundred: Top Pick Rashid Khan Ready To Make His Mark

By AFP News July 23, 2021 • 23:29 PM View: 1947

Rashid Khan is eager to justify his status as the number one draft pick in the Hundred when he makes his debut in English cricket's new 100 balls per side competition on Saturday.

A key figure in the remarkable rise of Afghanistan from cricket outpost to Test nation, the 22-year-old leg-spinner has long been regarded as the leading current bowler in Twenty20 cricket. Now he finds himself in an even shorter format that will see him turning out for the Nottingham-based Trent Rockets when they begin their Hundred campaign at home to the Southern Brave.
