Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been named as the skipper of the ICC Men’s T20 Team of the Year 2021, which includes two more players from Pakistan, while no one from India makes the cut.
Babar Azam along with Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi led the show as Pakistan players dominated the ICC T20I Men’s Team of the Year for 2021.
Babar was prolific in the format throughout the year. Apart from finishing as the top scorer in the T20 World Cup, he made 939 runs in 29 matches with one century and nine half-centuries.
Rizwan has been picked as the opener after the Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter had a dream run in 2021, hitting a record-breaking tally of 1326 runs in T20Is in 29 matches.
Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, who picked up 23 wickets in 21 matches at an economy of 7.86 was impressive throughout the calendar year.
Jos Buttler has been named as the other opener and is the only England player in the XI.
South Africa’s Aiden Markram finds a spot at No. 4 while Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who shone in the T20 World Cup, gets picked as the all-rounder.
South Africa have 2 more players in David Miller and World No. 1 T20I spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in the Team of the Year while Sri Lanka’s Wanidu Hasaranga also finds a place.
Mustafizur Rahman and Josh Hazlewood will take care of the pace-bowling unit alongside Shaheen.
