And, like every time, there were a lot of discussions that popped up around it.

They gave it all to the sport and even had the numbers with them to be included in this team but missed out somehow.

So, here’s a list of 5 such players who missed out in ICC Men’s T20I Team of the Decade-

1. Babar Azam (Pakistan)

Arguably one of the best players to come out of Pakistan in recent times, Babar Azam was one of the few most successful players to be missing out on the ICC Men’s T20I Team of the Decade.

And, his contributions to his national team’s success in the year 2016 has been the biggest factor that propelled his name into the talks for inclusion in this coveted XI, with all the legendary players of the format from all over the globe featuring in it.

Pakistan in the 44 matches they played featuring him, won as many as 30 games in total making their win to loss ratio as high as 2.5. And, Azam’s personal numbers read 1,681 runs in the same number of matches at an average of 50.94.

So, these numbers and the all-over impact he had on this team along with the batting class and experience he brings out on the table for his team, make his case really strong for inclusion into the side.
