how is Rashid 19? He looks 27
There's a picture of him in which he's 12 year's old with a moustache.
I have bengali friends who had full beards by 14. I didn't get mine till I was 19 :D

Wouldn’t matter if he were 19 or 119 he’s still carving us up

I’m more worried about our batting than Rashid Khan’s birth certificate

He's probably 22. I dunno. He could be 19 or he could be 29.

Middle Eastern and desi guys are often super hairy and non-whites hit puberty earlier than whites do. Plus the stresses of living in a war zone or growing up in a refugee camp probably accelerate hormonal maturation as well as make you look older in the face.

Does Rashid smoke? Cigarette use will add years even to very young people.

Rashid could be 95 and he would still be rolling through our useless batsmen.

Yeah those factors are all possible, his eyes still seem older than 19 to me though.

And I am not whinging about it - as everyone is saying he is bowling better than we can bat.

It just seems curious.
