Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan said he is unsure he will play in the tri-nation Twenty20 international final against Bangladesh on Tuesday as he is nursing a hamstring injury.

Rashid left the field injured against the same opponents in their last match of the league phase in Chittagong on Saturday, before returning to bowl two overs and picking 2-27 in their four-wicket loss.

"I can't say anything right now," Rashid said Monday about his chances of playing in the final.

"I had some work on my hamstring yesterday and today. We will decide tomorrow."
"I think I shouldn't have bowled, but when the team needs you, you have to be there. We give our all for the country."
"I saw how Asghar (Afghan) came to play four days after his appendicitis operation in Zimbabwe... I love my country, and I want the country to win, rather than myself."
"We have the talent and skills. We need to be more calm and cool, relax and enjoy the game."
