Carey says he understands Rashid's disappointment about Australia withdrawing from its Afghanistan series, but wants to see the popular leg-spinner play again for the Adelaide Strikers.

, believing it was a setback for his country as it continues its development as a cricket-playing nation on the international stage.Australian wicketkeeper Carey and Rashid have been Strikers teammates since the 2017/18 BBL season."He wants to play cricket for his country against a really strong country in Australia," Carey told ABC Sport."He sounds obviously very disappointed in that decision and no doubt over the next few days there will be more clarity around it from CA.

"We love him here, he's one of the best players I've ever played with. So the support is definitely behind him to hopefully come back soon and we get him back in the [Strikers] blue." Rashid played eight BBL matches for the Strikers this season before leaving as scheduled to take part in South Africa's new T20 league.

Due to his Test commitments this summer, Carey had been unavailable for the Strikers but will make a rare appearance for the Strikers in their clash with Brisbane Heat at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
