- In a video conversation shared by Kevin Pietersen on social media, the Afghanistan star said he cannot walk the streets of Kabul and travels in a bulletproof car.
- Rashid described the vehicle as a safety necessity against unpredictable violence, saying the risk is being in the wrong place at the wrong time rather than a direct targeting.
- He said the car was specially made for him, remains locked, and that people sometimes try to open it during stops.
- Rashid noted that armored cars are common in Afghanistan, framing the practice as a normal precaution for high-profile figures.
- Coverage also points to his international fame and past criticism of Taliban policies as factors that heighten his visibility, even as he continues franchise commitments based out of Dubai.
