Afghanistan were eliminated in the group stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The ACB then appointed opener Ibrahim Zadran as the full-time T20I captain. Zadran’s first assignment was a three-match bilateral series against Shreyas Iyer-led India in New Delhi, where Afghanistan lost the series 0-3.
“Even I don’t know what exactly happened at that time. I came to know [about the captaincy change] when the board announced it," Rashid said while speaking to Cricinfo.
“Under my captaincy, we reached the T20 World Cup semi-finals; we beat West Indies, but sometimes things aren’t in your control. But I have moved on now. Whether I am captain or not, I am proud that I am representing Afghanistan and I am trying to put to use whatever skills and capabilities I have. What I can control is to do well for Afghanistan and make them win.”

Only former captain Asghar Afghan has a better win-loss record as Afghanistan’s T20I captain. However, Asghar’s tenure came during a period when Afghanistan regularly faced Associate and lower-ranked teams, while Rashid led the side against a larger number of full-member nations.
