Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan will not join Lahore Qalandars for the final of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season seven.

Reports suggested that Rashid may fly to Lahore and appear in the final on Sunday but the 23-year-old can't play as he is in Bangladesh for the national duty.

"It would’ve been great to be part of Lahore Qalandars and play alongside lads in the final," he tweeted.

Rashid added that playing for Afghanistan is his first priority and wished Qalandars' captain Shaheen Afridi and his teammates best of luck for Sunday's final against Multan Sultans.

 

 

 

It must be noted that the star player left Qalandars' squad after playing nine matches where he took 13 wickets. Australia's Fawad Khan is his replacement for the remainder of the competition.
