Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has disclosed that Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan is frightened concerning the scenario within the nation and is unable to get his household out of there.
Commercial flight operations from around the globe have been closed on the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul because of the ongoing disaster. No flight can fly over the Afghan airspace for the reason that Taliban took over the nation on Sunday. Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has resigned and left the nation.
“There’s rather a lot of issues which are taking place at dwelling. We had a protracted chat right here on the boundary speaking about it and he’s frightened: he can’t get his household out of Afghanistan and there’s rather a lot of issues taking place for him,” said Pietersen on Sky Sports.
He added, “For him to turn up and put on a performance like this under the pressure that he is currently under… for him to be able to forget that stuff and navigate his story and continue the momentum that he has — I think that’s probably one of the most heart-warming stories of this Hundred so far.”
On Monday, Khan posted an Instagram story of an Afghanistan flag, praying emoji and two unhappy faces with “can’t sleep” text at the end. The 22-year-old has been very vocal about the worsening crisis in the country through his social media accounts.
Khan is currently in the United Kingdom playing for Trent Rockets in the inaugural edition of the Hundred.
He took three wickets during the win against Manchester Originals on Sunday to become the joint highest wicket-taker with 12 scalps alongside Adil Rashid in the competition.
