Lahore Qalandars skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi is "missing" Afghan leggie Rashid Khan, who withdrew midway from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for his national duty.

“Khan we miss you,” Shaheen said in his story on Instagram as a reply to Rashid’s tag.

Rashid Khan tagged the Lahore Qalandars team and congratulated them for winning their first-ever PSL title after seven-long seasons.

Rashid was a crucial part of Lahore Qalandars in the seventh edition of the PSL, taking 13 wickets in nine matches played for the Qalandars. With an economy of 6.25, the leg-spinner was the most economical bowler out of the top 20 bowlers in the recently concluded PSL 2022.

Rashid left the Lahore Qalandars on February 20 after he was named as part of Afghanistan’s national team to play against Zimbabwe.

The team gave him a warm farewell, coupled with a bear-hug from Shaheen.

Rashid had wished the best for Shaheen, Sameen Rana, and the team before leaving. He maintained that national duty is “always the first priority”.
