Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson ranked Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam, Pakistan’s all-format captain, among the best five T20 players in the world.
On the team sheet for the T20 World XI, Watson gave the elite players and three additional international superstars their first names. Says renowned cricketer Shaheen Afridi Asia Cup Out is a Major Setback Babar Azam’s incredible technique and reliability, according to Watson, make him his first choice. Babar is the best T20 batter in the world, according to him, and he is skilled at dominating the opposing bowling attack. The 41-year-old said that at the forthcoming 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, Babar will be one of the players to watch.
He’ll do admirably in the Australian conditions (during the T20 World Cup) as well because his technique was largely developed for those conditions.
Shaheen Afridi was the only bowler in the former all-list rounder’s of the top five T20 players in the globe. He claimed that Shaheen will be a challenge in Australian conditions because of his unique ability to pick up wickets on a regular basis. Given the swing and bounce that can be produced on Australian surfaces, Watson stated that he would be very surprised if Shaheen were to underperform.
The only concerning aspect of Shaheen, according to Watson, is that he can be expensive if he doesn’t succeed in getting wickets early on. Watson went on to say that, however, his exceptional abilities will soon outweigh this drawback.
Watson included David Warner, an Australian opener, Jos Buttler, the captain of England’s white-ball team, and Suyakumar Yadav, an Indian middle-order batting star, in his T20 World XI in addition to the two Pakistani players.
