Best Asian XI of the World T20 2016

Mohammad Nabi (Afghanistan):

Mohammad Nabi broke the ice for Afghanistan cricket by being offered a contract to play for the Quetta Gladiators in the PSL. If someone thought that the 31-year old wouldn’t have made much of an impact in the World T20 despite his obvious talent, their jaws would have fallen on the floor. As a spinner, you just don’t walk up to a batsman and ask him to give you his wicket. On the contrary, you fox him to earn the wicket. And Nabi is certainly a wily old fox, picking up 12 wickets in the tournament. He was the highest wicket-taker in the tournament.
