Will miss Indian players in Euro T20 Slam: Rashid Khan

London :  Afghanistan captain and star leg-spinner Rashid Khan on Friday said he would miss Indian players in the inaugural Euro T20 Slam, adding that he hopes some of them would be there to take part in the meet.
The player auction of the Euro T20 Slam which will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland, Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Dublin Ireland, was held here.
“Definitely. Always great to play and be with them. Playing alongside them. Hopefully we will get some Indian players…I think it’s allowed to have those players who retired from international cricket. I have enjoyed playing alongside them in the IPL,” Rashid said when asked if he would miss the Indian players who are not part of the meet.  Rashid plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.
While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is still very particular about not letting contracted Indian players playing in any T20 league, apart from the Indian Premier League (IPL), GT20 brand ambassador Brian Lara recently told IANS that there is need to change for the good of the gentleman’s game.
Lara had said that while every nation is bound to have its own policies, having the talented Indian players playing in leagues like the GT20 would help the budding players in those countries grow.
