According to their head coach Jonathan Trott, Rashid Khan’s absence in the T20I collection against India presents an opportunity for another Afghan players to compete against the heavyweights and be well-known figures like the celebrity leg-spinner.

The renowned spinner, who underwent back surgery following the ODI World Cup in November, was selected for the team but wo n’t be available to play in the three games while he recovers.

Trott said during an interview with” JioCinema” that” I believe, with Rashid out of the area, it’s a good option for additional people to travel in and move up and become household names like he is.”

A person like Rashid, his authority, and the total package he brings to the side will undoubtedly be missed by the team. When asked if the bowler’s departure had an impact on team variety, he responded,” But it’ll be nice to see who is going to stand up and take accountability and force, just a couple of weeks after the World Cup.”

The second T20I of the series will be played on Thursday, and Afghanistan may look to their outstanding performance in the ODI World Cup in October and November of last year as a springboard for their serious preparations for the next T-20 World Championship.

Trott, a previous England Test consultant, said his staff is lucky to have people who have faced these actors in the IPL when discussing the difficulties of competing against men like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Any area India chooses is powerful. The likes of Rohit and Virat can be added to it, and they have long been top players in the world. We are lucky to have opponents in the IPL who have played quite a bit of bowling against them.

There will undoubtedly be some ideas for them because the other men watched them on Television. According to Trott, it’s about carrying out those strategies and making certain that on the day we are prepared to do that.

Trott responded that the customers may need to give it their all in every aspect of the game when questioned about Afghanistan’s plans to stop India.

We must improve in all three parts of the match. We have to seize those crucial times under duress. So that players are prepared to do whenever they have the chance to make an impact in a match, “he said,” is the main goal of today’s practice.

He stated,” We had a good 50-over World Cup, and obviously these three games are important,” regarding the series ‘ main themes.

” We’re here to get, but we also have one eye on the Caribbean T20 World Cup in June.”
