Asia Cup 2022 Massive sign - Rashid Khan extremely impressed with IPL star Fazalhaq Farooqi

By James Kuanal Modified 02 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Fazalhaq Farooqi played three matches for SRH in IPL 2022. Afghanistan star all-rounder Rashid Khan is delighted to see their fast bowlers rise to the occasion alongside spinners in the Asia Cup 2022. He credited the IPL for the rise of Fazalhaq Farooqi, who was the architect of their victory against Sri Lanka. The left-arm seamer finished with 3/11 as Sri Lanka were bundled out for 105 runs. Afghanistan won the match by eight wickets. Speaking at Afghanistan’s training session on Thursday, here’s what Rashid Khan told ESPNCricinfo: “Bowling has always been good for us, but if you look at our side, the fast-bowling department was struggling earlier, but we have good bowlers now. Someone like Fazalhaq Farooqi has had the experience of playing in the IPL. The exposure he got there has been massive. "We also have Naveen-ul-Haq, who is playing all around the world. This is a massive sign for us.” Afghanistan Cricket Board@ACBofficials??????? ?????!
