Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi named his all-time XI which featured only one Indian cricketer. Most cricketers who featured in his side were players he has played with or against during his career. Out of the XI, five cricketers were Pakistani cricketers.
Sachin Tendulkar was the only Indian cricketer Afridi picked in his XI. Afridi picked former Pakistan opener Saeed Anwar, who has over 13,00 runs and 31 centuries in Tests and ODIs combined.
The other opener who would walk out in the middle is former Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist. Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting and Tendulkar come down the order.
The middle-order comprises former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq, South Africa’s Jacques Kallis and Pakistan’s Rashid Latif, who will also don the gloves.
This list is followed by the four bowlers including former Australian spin wizard Shane Warne as the lone spinner. The pacers were Pakistan’s Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, and Australia’s Glenn McGrath.
Shahid Afridi's all-time XI: Saeed Anwar, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Jacques Kallis, Rashid Latif (WK), Wasim Akram, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Shoaib Akhtar.
