Best T20 World XI ahead of ICC T20 World Cup 2022
There are no players from two-time T20 World Cup winners West Indies and last year's runner-up New Zealand in this preferred XI.
7. Rashid Khan
The Afghan spinner is no longer a young prospect for the future but has already established himself as the best spinner in world T20 cricket, despite being just 23 years of age. He has already completed 100-plus wickets on the international level and reached the same milestone in IPL this season. He struggled to get along with his usual best at the beginning of IPL this season but went on taking 19 wickets in 16 matches, with an average of 22.15 and an economy rate of 6.59.
He was the highest wicket-taker for the Afghanistan team in last year’s World Cup, with eight wickets in just five matches, with an average of 14.00 and an impressive economy rate of 6.10. He has taken 109 T20 International wickets so far in just 61 matches and has maintained an economy rate of just over six.
Rashid Khan ranks fourth in ICC T20I bowling rankings and will be looking to climb up the chart with quite a few T20I matches scheduled before the World Cup.
