CHENNAI: The Afghanistan cricket team might have participated in a few World Cups, but for their players Monday will always stand out. Set at a base price of Rs 50 lakh, Rashid was finally bagged by SRH for an incredible Rs 4 crore. There's a sense of the unknown about the Afghan players which may have helped them clinch their deals.While South Africa's world No. 1 ODI bowler Imran Tahir went unsold, 18-year-old Rashid from an associate country, with an experience of 18 ODIs and 21 T20Is, got the nod. It's a great day for Afghan cricket and our country .
