Rashid Latif, a former Pakistan cricketer, believes that Afghanistan's Rashid Khan is a greater cricketer than his own country's Wasim Akram, who is often considered one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time. Latif's assessment comes from the fact that Rashid has played a significant role in putting Afghanistan on the global cricket map, something that Wasim did not have to do for his country. However, Rashid has not had the same impact in Tests as he has had in T20 cricket, largely due to Afghanistan's weak representation in the longest format. As they prepare for the ICC Champions Trophy, starting February 19, Rashid and his team will be hoping to create a bigger impact.
