Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan Joins Red Bull Athlete Roster

Afghanistan’s cricket superstar Rashid Khan has reportedly joined the prestigious Red Bull athlete roster, becoming one of the few Asian players to partner with the global energy drink giant.

According to ESPNcricinfo, Red Bull unveiled Khan as a brand ambassador during an event on Saturday. Cricket news outlets, including OneCricket, have since confirmed that Khan signed with the brand, joining an elite group of international stars like KL Rahul, Ben Stokes, and Kagiso Rabada. While neither Red Bull nor Khan has yet released an official statement detailing the agreement, the news has captured widespread attention across cricket communities worldwide.

At just 26 years old, Rashid Khan is celebrated as one of the finest leg-spin bowlers of his generation. Since debuting for Afghanistan in 2015, he has been a driving force behind the team’s rapid ascent on the global cricket stage. Khan’s impact spans all formats of the game, and he has become a key player in major franchise leagues including the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League, Pakistan Super League, and The Hundred. His exceptional skill, consistency, and magnetic presence have not only made him Afghanistan’s most recognizable sporting figure but also a respected icon in world cricket.

Afghanistan’s cricket journey has been remarkable, moving from Division Five of the World Cricket League in 2008 to achieving full ICC membership and Test status in 2017. With Khan’s sharp leg-spin, clever googlies, and handy batting contributions, Afghanistan has become a formidable competitor in international limited-overs cricket.

If officially confirmed, this partnership with Red Bull would mark a significant milestone in Khan’s career, highlighting his growing global influence both on and off the pitch. It also signals the rising recognition of Afghan athletes on the world sports stage—a testament to the country’s impressive progress in cricket over the past decade.
