2. Shaheen Afridi: Here is what he spoke in praise of Pakistan’s young promising star left-arm fast bowler. “I like Pakistan’s best Sachin Afridi as a fast bowler to open the bowling on the other side with Bumrah.
A brilliant left-arm fast bowler, he has a knack for taking wickets. Other players will want to follow him. And being a left-handed bowler, he can swing fast against right-handed batsmen. So I choose him as the 2nd”.

3. Rashid Khan: Here’s what Mark Waugh had to say about selecting him as the number one T20 spin bowler in the world. “Playing all the series in the world, you can count on him to bowl you full 4 overs. He will take 2-3 wickets and give only 20 runs. He also has the ability to hit some boundaries at the last minute which no one expected.
4. Jos Buttler: Following is what he said after choosing him who has won the orange cap in the IPL 2022 series and has advanced to become the captain of England. “I think he is the number one batsman in the world in T20 cricket at the moment. He has the ability to hit the balls clearly. “When you see him in all series, he plays better than other players.”
