Rashid Khan paints Afghanistan flag on cheeks, show support

Afghanistan leg spinner Rashid Khan has been going through some tough times during his stay in the UK. As Taliban took control of the country rather quickly, Rashid finds it tough to see the situation of his country mates.

Rashid, who is currently The Hundred for Trent Rockets, has even been calling for peace through his official Twitter handle. On Friday, when Trent Rockets took the field to defend a low total of 96 runs, Rashid Khan had painted his face with Afghanistan’s flag to show his love for the country.

He was worried for his family and people back home amid the political turmoil and the experts have praised him a lot for performing well through the tournament in these tough times.

Recently, on Afghan Independence Day on August 19, Rashid tweeted optimistically for a peaceful, developed and united nation. “Today let us take some time to value our nation and never forget the sacrifices. We hope and pray for the peaceful, developed and United nation INSHALLAH(sic),” he wrote on Twitter.
