9 Surprising selections for the ICC World T20 2016

2. Sharjeel Khan (Pakistan):

Sharjeel Khan’s career took a dramatic turn recently. Sharjeel’s T20I career also never really took off and he played just 3 matches, the last of which was in December 2013. However, his performance for the Islamabad United team in the first edition of the PSL put life back into his cricketing career. He was a key part of the eventual champion side. He played few crucial cameos but Pakistan selectors couldn’t ignore him after he became the first player in the PSL to score a century. His 62 balls 117 in the semi-finals made the selectors pick him as the last minute change in the squad.
