Flop XI of World Cup 2015 Group Stage

7. Younis Khan (Pakistan) / Kevin O’Brien (Ireland)

Matches – 3 | Innings – 3 | Runs – 43 | HS. – 37 | Avg. – 14.33

Younis Khan had criticized the Pakistani selectors for not naming him in the probables for the World Cup 2015. But after being selected in the team he managed the scores of 6 and 0 in 2 matches against India and West Indies, where Pakistan collapsed for 4 wickets to 1 run. Pakistan dropped him for the next match against UAE and won the match. Younis Khan came back into the team against West Indies and made another duck and scored 37 against South Africa, a match Pakistan managed to win thanks to their bowlers. But Pakistan dropped him for the crucial and must win match against Ireland. Pakistan won the match and made it into the QFs where they will face Australia, but it will be next to impossible to see Younis playing that match.

Matches – 6 | Innings – 6 | Runs – 131 | HS. – 50 | Avg. – 21.83
Wickets – 6

Kevin O’Brien started his World Cup 2015 on high making scores of 50, 48 against UAE and South Africa. But his failure to score runs or contribute with the ball in crucial matches against India and Pakistan caused Ireland to get knocked out of the World Cup 2015. This puts him in our list of Flop XI.
