Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan said he is unsure he will play in the tri-nation Twenty20 international final against Bangladesh on Tuesday as he is nursing a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rashid left the field injured against the same opponents in their last match of the league phase in Chittagong on Saturday, before returning to bowl two overs and picking 2-27 in their four-wicket loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had some work on my hamstring yesterday and today. We will decide tomorrow.\u201dRashid said he would rather not have bowled in the previous game, but the team needed his services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe main reason to come back to bowl was that I wanted to know the severity of the injury,\u201d he said.\u201cThe physio and coaches didn\u2019t want me to bowl. I was OK with the first two overs, but after going for a run it got worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI saw how Asghar came to play four days after his appendicitis operation in Zimbabwe\u2026 I love my country, and I want the country to win, rather than myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the team had other good bowlers to call on such as Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi and Sharafuddin Ashraf — if he was ruled out of the match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
