Afghanistan's premier leg-spinner Rashid Khan admitted that he made a mistake by returning to cricketing action too quickly after his back surgery, which happened shortly after the 2023 ODI World Cup.

After having a difficult IPL 2025 campaign, where he conceded 33 sixes while playing for Gujarat Titans, Rashid took two months off and returned to action with a match-winning 3-11 in defending champions Oval Invincibles's win over London Spirit in their first game of The Hundred at Lord's.

"After IPL, I needed the kind of break where my body gets back to normal. I worked a little bit on my strength. And especially coming back from back surgery, I hadn't had much time to rehab properly. That's where I did a bit of mistake to restart my cricket so quickly at that time," Rashid was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
