LONDON: Rashid Khan really wants to justify his status as the number one draft chose within a hundred when he made his debut in the 100 new English balls per competition Saturday on Saturday.
The main character in the awakening of the extraordinary Afghanistan from the cricket post to test the nation, a spinner of a 22-year-old leg has long been considered a leading bowler at the twenty20 Cricket.
Now he finds himself in a even shorter format that will see it out for Nottingham-based Rocket Trent when they start hundreds of their campaigns at home for southern brave.
And after being impressed with the best in the world in the Indian Premier League with a high profile, among other T20 tournaments, one hundred labels at £ 100,000 (138,000 dollars) could not affect Khan.
“Surely it is a big moment and proud of me and my country, to be someone from Afghanistan and become the first choice in this competition,” he said.
“I was very fortunate to be someone who chose this competition for the first time and I thought it was all about what I had done in the last five and a half years that allowed it,” Khan added, who had taken 466 goals in all T20 crickets.
“I look forward to proveing ​​it.
I only need to keep it myself, take my expertise, enjoy the game, keep smiling and staying fine for the team.” Khan had been furious with the condition of English ahead of hundreds by playing for the former Sussex club in two T20 county county blast matches after taking holidays a month after finishing the Pakistani Super League in June.
“It’s good preparation for me before a hundred,” Khan said.
“To get used to the weather, the condition and take my muscles because I have a little rest after PSL.” I did 10 days from quarantine in London, which was difficult, you know 10 days locked in a room, so to get out of there, have a little practice and several matches, this is good preparation for me.
“Unlike all the forms of cricket, one hundred has removed the standard of six balls, with Bowlers permitted to send to under five or 10 consecutive balls.
Khan, not surprisingly, could not wait for his first 10-foot spell.” I was very excited about that , for Bowling 10 consecutive balls, it gives you the type of opportunity for you.
Take 10 Wickets directly and three hat-tricks, “he said.
