Afghan cricketer Rashid Khan believes that the atmosphere during a Pakistan and Afghanistan clash is much different from when you are playing league cricket with the same players.


Pakistan shares the memories of one of the most thrilling matches with Afghanistan when the Green Shirts turned a nerve-wracking game into an exciting win in a crucial match against the neighbours at Asia Cup 2022.


Khan, who is currently in Pakistan to participate in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), gets along with some of the members of Pakistan's national team well due to being part of the country's league cricket for years

However, while speaking to Geo News, the cricketer said that "camaraderie [between Pak-Afghan players] remains in its place but when we are playing for the country, but the environment is definitely different."


Khan said that Pakistan vs Afghanistan matches are always good, no matter if it is the Asia Cup or World Cup. The more matches Afghanistan plays against Pakistan, the better it is for Afghanistan cricket as playing against good teams is always for the best, he added.
