Rashid is one of the reasons I think Afghanistan will do well in test cricket sooner rather than later. They’ve got two good spinners now, their pacers are solid enough and they’ll possibly find better ones given their pacer history. Batting has always been their weakest point but if you look at their domestic FC comp that has been going on then you’d have to believe they have some decent batting talent come through I think 2 names (among others) are baheer and zia ul haq, both have about 5 centuries in 7/8 matches, think there is another who’s got 4 tons in the same amount of matches or less and most of these guys scoring runs are between 18-23.
Given that their bowling has always generally been pretty good then I’d say these batsmen are scoring runs against decent bowlers.
