Best Non-Asian XI of the World T20 2016

The World T20 2016 was played in India, and everybody expected the sub-continent teams to do well. While most people expect an Asian side to win the World T20, it is impossible to rule out the other countries that throw their hat into the ring to contest the coveted and premier T20 title. And at the end, we saw West Indies surprise most by grabbing the trophy. Despite the likes of England and Australia not fully embracing the shortest format of the game, we take a look at some of the best players on show in the World T20 outside the Asian subcontinent.

Usman Khawaja (Australia):

Usman Khawaja’s journey from a Test player to one of the best T20 players in the recently concluded tournament is simply outstanding. He has also seemingly taken up the role vacated by former Aussie opener Matthew Hayden with his controlled aggression. Khawaja made his case for the Australian T20 squad with an amazing performance in the Big Bash League for the Sydney Thunder. Playing on flat yet spinning wicket in India, the southpaw looked at ease. He smashed 143 runs for the Aussies in the 4 matches he played, concluding the tournament as Australia’s highest run-getter.
