Rashid had announced his first marriage in October 2024.
A picture of Rashid Khan sitting beside a woman at a charity event recently went viral on the internet, sparking all sorts of speculations.
On Tuesday (November 11), Afghanistan’s star spinner broke silence, confirming that it was his wife. Rashid confirmed in an Instagram post that he tied the knot for the second time in August this year.
In his post featuring a series of pictures and a video from his wedding day, Rashid also expressed disappointment at the unfortunate assumptions that people made about his personal life.
“On August 2nd, I began a new and meaningful chapter of my life. I had my nikkah done and married a woman who embodies the love, peace and partnership I always hoped for," Rashid wrote.
“I recently took my wife to a charity event and it’s unfortunate to see assumptions being made from something so simple. The truth is straightforward, she is my wife and we stand together with nothing to hide. To everyone who has shown kindness, support and understanding, thank you."
While Rashid Khan opened up about his second marriage, he didn’t divulge his wife’s identity in an act of respecting her privacy and cultural traditions. The 26-year-old had announced his first marriage to his maternal cousin in October 2024.
As per reports, Rashid’s three brothers, Amir Khalil, Zakiullah, and Raza Khan, also married on the same day in a grand ceremony hosted by the family at Kabul’s Imperial Continental Hotel. The wedding ceremony was attended by Afghanistan Cricket Board officials and Rashid’s national teammates.
