Mumbai: On the contrary, he is the first superstar cricketer of his country. He is the best T20 cricketer of the last decade in the judgment of ‘Global Icon’ and ICC. Gujarat Titans A claim by cricketer Rashid Khan has gone viral where he said that he was offered citizenship by India and Australia to play for them. This is what Afghanistan’s superstar cricketer wrote in his autobiography. Rashid is going to be in trouble after this comment? Can BCCI take any action against him?

In his book, Rashid said, ‘A senior person associated with Indian cricket told me to take Indian citizenship. He met me and said that in the current situation of your country, I don’t think you will get a chance to represent the country in the future. Because there may not be conditions like playing cricket. If we get you as an Indian citizen you can represent the Indian cricket team. If you apply for citizenship, we will do the rest.’ Rashid also wrote, ‘I smiled and thanked him but I respectfully told him very politely that I was still playing cricket for Afghanistan. If I can’t play in the future, maybe I won’t play cricket but I don’t want to be separated from the motherland.’

There has been a lot of noise around Rashid’s claim. Many are questioning its authenticity. Can BCCI take any action against Rashid in this case? But there is no rule to punish Rashid for this comment. But such comments are against the reputation of any board, so it is not unusual for BCCI to take action against Rashid.

The BCCI may now ask Rashid to explain the basis of such comments and to provide arguments in support of his comments. If the Board of Cricket India absolutely feels that Rashid’s comments have brought the board into disrepute, they can take legal action or punish Rashid in some other way if necessary. Even Rashid IPL From can be done to exile. But in that case a lot of evidence will be required against him. However, nothing has been officially said by any BCCI official or board about Rashid’s comments.
