[PICTURE] No Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan or Shaheen Shah Afridi as Saim Ayub reveals his dream T20I World XI

[The Bald Eagle]

So no Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam or Naseem Shah in Saim Ayub's dream XI. So how will you guys rate Saim Ayub's dream XI and will he get some stick for being brutally honest and totally ignoring the appeasement policy?

 

[Sachin fan]

Seems very fair and balanced compared to many other so called best XIs. However, I think Fakhar is a bit over rated in T20s and you have better openers.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How could you do this Saim...Oh what a shame....NOT!

 

[zarak]

Smart man

 

[The Bald Eagle]

I think Ben Stokes doesn't deserve to be there

 

[Rana]

But but but Babar and Rizwan mentored him???

 

[Rana]

Quality XI btw

 

[topspin]

Saim’s passes the cricketing knowledge vibe check.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Great XI.

Ben Stokes won England the T20 WC. Why doesn't he deserve to be there?

I think he was never a decent T20 bowler and being a batsman he used to act as an aggressive anchor...so much better options available like Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, Shane Watson, Dwayne Bravo etc

Fakhar doesn't make it to any World XI. Ben stokes is another fraud in T20Is. Others are decent call

 

[Josh]

Seems to be very rational with the choices

For me trophies take precedence over everything else. He won them the World Cup once and came pretty close the other time. Watson batted in the opening spot in T20s, Stoinis is an incredibly overrated player who is more of a batsman anyway. Omarzai is just at the start of his career and has lot to achieve.

Bravo is a good shout. But I don't see anything wrong with Stokes being there. Just because of 2022.

No doubt he batted brilliantly in the final and is overall a clutch player.

It is an okay XI but how does Fakhar make the T20 World XI? An average of 22 with a SR of 132 is almost as bad as Babar/Rizwan. They at least have higher averages. The rest of the team is fine. I would rather open with Phil Salt or Abhishek Sharma. Shai Hope has an every of 57 at a SR of 180 since Jan 2024. There is Sanju Samson who averages 34 at a SR of 182 during the same period. Not sure how Fakhar fits in to T20Is. ODIs I agree, he is brilliant but in T20Is he doesn't even deserve a place in Pakistan national side leave alone World XI. Also is Stokes still playing LOIs? Surprised to see him selected in his worst format. Batting average of 21 at an SR of 128, bowling average of 32 at an Econ rate of 8.4. Seems like Pakistan players are in love with batters striking 130 or lower. Only Jos, Klassen and pooran are good selections in the batting. Bowling is fine and has variety.

Solid 11. Although Imo I'd replace Fakhar Zaman for Abhi or Shubman Gill. Both of these 2 have been in gun form this IPL especially Gill who seems to have upped his game and SR since past times.

 

[mominsaigol]

But but but Babar and Rizwan mentored him???

Maybe he named them as the batting and fielding coach?

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Fakhar came in just for Pakistan quota, otherwise saim himself knows there are better players than fakhar

 

[Suleiman]

Tells us he’s intelligent and not a sheep. Not a surprise with the way he bats and doesn’t care if he ruffles feathers of so called seniors

Babar can be insecure though so I hope he doesn’t bother young Saim.

Who? In Pakistan?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Replace Ben Stokes with Faheem Ashraf and the team is set.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Quality side. Ben Stokes has retired from t20s though.

Good to see you acknowledge Head

Bhai, he already said "Pakistan quota". So, obviously he means outside Pak.

 

[Snowflake]

Solid XI. Not too sure Ben Stokes makes it. Hard to think there aren't better T20 alrounders than him.

Well done Saim, one of the best XI’s by a current player or pundit in the format tbh
