Their age is irrelevant unless they are playing in age-group cricket. Rashid Khan is effective at the moment regardless of his age.

Age fudging is very common in sub continent folks, but I think Afghans and Pakistani's go a bit too far, you would find them fudging it by 6-7 years which is unbelievable.
In India I know a lot of people fudge it by 6 months to 1 or 2 years.

Mujeeb definitely looks his age, but Rashid is questionable.
No one will do anything. He is too valuable a commodity for world Cricket.

That's a deceiving photo. Look at his photos from Brisbane Heat and he definitely looks young.
Even in that photo he looks young but like early 20s. He also has the mannerisms and such of a young bloke.

People will only take notice when they win the next u19 World Cup. It’s like us sending Blessing and Ngarava to the next World Cup. Ridiculous

We wouldn't win the Under-19 CWC even if we sent our full senior side. Zimbabwe sent blatantly overage players a few tournaments back and nobody seemed to do anything about it.
