Ahmad Rashidi is a senior cricket correspondent for TOLOnews and one of the most recognised voices covering Afghanistan’s remarkable cricketing rise. A Kabul University journalism graduate, he started reporting from the dusty club grounds of Nangarhar and Khost long before the world took notice of Afghan cricket. Today, Ahmad is a constant presence at ICC events, providing nuanced analysis in both Dari and English. His deep knowledge of spin bowling techniques—especially the art of leg‑spin and googly—has made him a go‑to expert on Afghanistan’s famed spinning attack. He has reported on multiple T20 World Cups, the Afghanistan Premier League, and the journeys of players like Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman from local heroes to global stars. Ahmad’s work is marked by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to shining a light on cricket’s development in emerging nations.
