Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan’s hamstring injury has left his team distressed ahead of the Tri-nation T20I series finale against Bangladesh on Tuesday. The suspense remains on his participation in the final showdown but he has claimed that even if he had a ‘10 per cent chance’ to take to the field, he would give it a shot.
“I saw how Asghar (Afghan) came to play four days after his appendicitis operation in Zimbabwe... I love my country, and I want the country to win, rather than myself.”
The leggie was forced to leave the field during their last game on Saturday against the same opponents. However, he returned to bowl two overs and picked 2-27 in their four-wicket loss.
“I can't say anything right now. I had some work on my hamstring yesterday and today. We will decide tomorrow,” Rashid said on Monday about his chances of playing in the final.
Rashid said he would rather not have bowled in the previous game, but the team needed his services.
“The main reason to come back to bowl was that I wanted to know the severity of the injury. The physio and coaches didn't want me to bowl. I was OK with the first two overs, but after going for a run it got worse. I think I shouldn't have bowled, but when the team needs you, you have to be there. We give our all for the country,” he said.
