Rashid Khan Reflects On Post-Surgery Comeback After Guiding Afghanistan To First-Ever Test Series Win
Rashid Khan marked his triumphant return to Test cricket with a "Player of the Match" performance, guiding Afghanistan to a 72-run victory over Zimbabwe in the second and final Test at Queens Sports Club on Monday. The leg-spinner's exceptional bowling figures, 4/94 in the first innings and 7/66 in the second played a pivotal role in sealing the series win. Reflecting on the match, Rashid expressed gratitude for the team's effort and determination. "After three years, back in Test cricket, it was hard for me to come back from back surgery and play the longest format. It is a team effort, the way they [the batters] delivered with the bat in the second innings -- that got us back [in the game]," he said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
