After a period of rest to recharge their bodies, several cricketers are back in action, resuming training for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023. Among these players is Rashid Khan, the prominent Afghanistan all-rounder, who dove into intense net sessions on Sunday, August 20. It’s worth noting that Afghanistan is scheduled to face Pakistan in a three-match ODI series to be held in Sri Lanka.
Rashid Khan shared a video of his training session on Instagram, showcasing his batting skills with a unique touch. During the net session, he displayed an array of unorthodox strokes, notably a ‘No Look’ shot, impressively highlighting his batting prowess.
