LONDON: Sussex have re-signed star Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan for next year's T20 Blast competition. The world's number one T20I bowler, who has had two stints with Sussex, recently concluded his IPL 2020 campaign with SunRisers Hyderabad in which he ended up taking 20 wickets in 16 appearances at a staggering economy rate of just 5.37 runs per over.
The leg-spinner was set to play for Sharks T20 skipper Luke Wright's side again this year, but it was mutually agreed he would miss the competition due to his overlapping commitments in the Caribbean Premier League and Indian Premier League.
"I am really happy to be heading back to Sussex for the 2021 Blast," said Khan in a statement. IANS
