T20 World Cup: Rashid Khan requests fans not to misbehave: Afghanistan star spinner Rashid Khan on Tuesday urged fans to “respect the rules and support” the organisers of the T20 World Cup by coming to the stadium with a ticket.
More than 16,000 tickets had been issued for the game between Pakistan and Afghanistan in Dubai. However, thousands of ticketless fans travelled to the venue and then attempted to force entry into the stadium last week.

After the incident, the International Cricket Council (ICC) had asked the Emirates Cricket Board to undertake a full investigation regarding crowd behaviour during the ICC men’s T20 World Cup game between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, it will be a change in venue for India after playing both their opening games at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as they will play Afghanistan at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
