Rashid chooses PSL over County stint with Sussex

Abu Dhabi, June 6: Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan has revealed that he has put his County contract with Sussex on hold in order to participate in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
The spinner praised the County for understanding his decision to play for Lahore Qalandars in the PSL.
“Unfortunately, I only played two games in PSL 6 and had to go away for national duty. Now I had the option to stay back in England and here I must appreciate Sussex for their help and understanding as I had to decide between missing five games with the county or playing a whole tournament like PSL which seemed like a better option, especially as the fans wanted me to play in the PSL,” Cricket Pakistan quoted Rashid as saying.
The young spinner also believes that playing in the PSL will give a good opportunity to Afghanistan players and it will help in improving relations between the Pakistan and Afghanistan cricket boards. (ANI)
