Nobody wanted Rashid in IPL team in 2016: Ex-Afghan coach
Former Afghanistan cricket team coach Lalchand Rajput has revealed he had asked IPL franchises to pick Rashid Khan in 2016 but they refused. Rajput added that he had told Gambhir and Sehwag that "talented" Rashid would be a good choice for their respective franchises but they refused citing enough spinners. Notably, 19-year-old Rashid is currently the top-ranked T20I bowler.
