Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Mujeebur Rahman, Qais Ahmed, Zahir Khan and some other Afghan players have played Big Bash in the past. Rashid Khan withdrew from this competition last year.
Rashid Khan had said at that time that if Australia was not interested in playing official games with Afghanistan, then he also did not want to play there.
Australia has canceled some matches with Afghanistan in the past, due to allegations of human rights abuses by the Taliban regime.

Australia did not officially say why Pakistani and Afghan players were not selected for this year’s Big Bash. However, cricket commentator Muhammad Wasil Wasal says that ‘cricket relations between Afghanistan and Australia are not very pleasant. However, the reason why Pakistani players are also overlooked may be that less attention has been given to Asian players this season.
