Rashid is currently in the UK playing for Trent Rockets in the inaugural edition of the Hundred.

Peterson said, “There’s a lot of stuff happening in the house. We had a long conversation here at the border talking about it and he’s worried: he can’t get his family out of Afghanistan and there’s a lot of things happening for him,” Pietersen said on Sky Sports.

“For him to turn up and put on a performance like this under the pressure that he is currently under… for him to be able to forget that stuff and navigate his story and continue the momentum that he has – I think that’s probably one of the most heartwarming stories of this Hundred so far,” he added.

Taliban militants are occupying Afghanistan’s capital Kabul and have taken over the Rashtrapati Bhavan after the country’s President Ashraf Ghani left for Tajikistan.
