Best Asia XI that can face off against World XI
With four major Asian cricketing boards agreeing to release players for the two-match T20I series, we take a look at which of the cricketers may take part in the matches.
4. Mahmudullah (Bangladesh) – (C)
Mahmudullah has been handed the reins of the Bangladeshi T20 side in absence of Shakib Al Hasan. The 34-year-old first performed on the international stage in South Africa in the 2007 World T20 and became a staple of the team. His aggressive batting and part-time off-spin made him a brilliant asset to the team and shined brightly in the 2015 World cup where he became the first Bangla batsman to hit a century.
Right now he led the team against Pakistan in a T20I series, which his side lost 2-0; but the Bangladesh board have decided to put their eggs in Mahmudullah’s basket and given the importance of this year which has a T20 World Cup in it.
It is expected that he will also helm the Asia XI in this important occasion for Bangladesh. Mahmudullah has 3859 runs in 212 T20 matches with a strike rate of 120.51 and 13 fifties to his name, record that speaks for itself.
