ICC World Twenty20 2014 Men’s Team of the Tournament

No Englishman, Kiwi or Pakistani player in the ICC XI which is not surprising at all

4 Indians, 2 West Indians (3 if you incl. 12th man), 2 South Africans and one each from Lanka, Australia & Holland

ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 Men’s Team of the Tournament (in batting order):

ICC announces men

While most of the team picks itself, I would have Herath in place of Badree.

Badree took 11 wickets in 5 games. Herath who did not play the earlier games (Mendis was preferred over him) took 6 in 3 games but he had a better average and economy than Badree (better SR)

Most importantly Herath’s impact on opposition teams was decisive incl. 5 for 3 in the crucial game (virtually a QF) against NZ to dismiss them for 60. Lanka made a below par 119.
