In his upcoming book, 'Rashid Khan: From Streets to Stardom', Afghanistan's prominent leg-spinner Rashid Khan reveals that he was offered citizenship by both India and Australia but chose to remain loyal to his homeland. During the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, a high-ranking official from the Board of Control for Cricket in India approached him with an offer to live and play cricket in India due to the dire situation in Afghanistan. Rashid recounted his surprise at the offer but firmly responded, 'I am playing for my country, Afghanistan.' This loyalty has been a hallmark of his career, as seen in a 2018 match where his performance led to calls for Indian citizenship, which was met with responses from Indian officials and the then Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who emphasized Rashid's significance to Afghanistan. The book chronicles Rashid's rise from humble beginnings in Nangarhar to becoming one of Afghanistan's leading cricketers and the ICC’s 'Player of the Decade' in 2020.
