Time for ASIA XI vs. Rest of World matches

[IAJ]

When was the last time we had these matches?

Some real good players like Kohli, Rohit, Babar, Shakib, Bumrah, Mustafeez and Aamir playing in same team would be good against Bairstow, Buttler, Hope, Williamson, Starc and Archer to mention some.

3 match series would be sufficient and England seems the right place as well.

What should your XI’s be?

 

[Mamoon]

The gap between India and the rest of the Asian teams is too huge for it to work. You can't have an Asian XI where the majority of the players are Indian.

Rohit
Dhawan
Kohli (c)
Babar
Shakib
Mushfiq (wk)
Pandya
Amir
Kuldeep
Shami
Bumrah

7 Indian players make the team on merit, which nullifies the concept of an Asia XI. Also, having only 2 Pakistani players in an Asia XI is extremely embarrassing, so I hope this idea doesn't materialise.

You can balance it out by equally spreading the players between India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and even Afghanistan, but that would defeat the purpose because the ROW XI will beat them to a pulp.

[silentkiller187]

PAK player should never play in the same team with India and Afghan players. NEVER!

Why, this is not about Ego's we need to remain professional, if others want to act childish let them be. This kind of thought process has already held us back for far too long. Need to leave the politics to the politicians
