Rashid Khan considers opting out of BBL after Australia abandoned the Afghanistan ODI series

Rashid Khan, one of the world's top-ranked T20 bowlers, is reportedly considering opting out of the upcoming Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia due to the recent cancellation of the One Day International (ODI) series between Australia and Afghanistan.

According to sources close to the player, Rashid Khan is disappointed and frustrated by the Australian government’s decision to abandon the ODI series. This series was set to take place later this year. The series was seen as a major opportunity for the Afghan national team to showcase their skills against one of the top teams in the world. These series would have prepared them for the upcoming ODI World Cup in 2023.

Rashid Khan, who is currently playing for the Adelaide Strikers in the BBL, has been one of the league’s top performers in recent years. He is widely considered to be one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, and his participation in the league is a major draw for fans and his team.

The Australian cricket board is yet to release a statement on the matter, but it is expected that they will be in talks with Khan in the coming days in order to try to convince him to change his mind and take part in the league.

Khan’s decision will be a huge blow for the league, as well as cricket fans who were looking forward to seeing him in action. It remains to be seen whether he will ultimately decide to opt out of the BBL. However, it is clear that the recent cancellation of the ODI series has had a significant impact on his plans.
