They don't have to play against anyone. The is just to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of best players in recently concluded World Twenty20.

Just like Benaud wrote a whole book on his all-time World Test XI. Only Imran Khan made his final XI

Wasim Akram as the best left-arm pacer ever deserved to be in his list too and Miandad and Waqar's names should have atleast been mentioned among the greats of the game because they were all world-class players

and to add they do it after the quadrennial World Cup as well. This is just a celebration nothing-else

Re: Younus Khan declared captain of ICC World T20 squad

Congrats to Younis and all the players...

I believe that Steyn should have been there as well... ICC picked up the team from the Semi Finalist of WC...
....The winner has the most, runner up 3, SA has more than WI cause they fought well in the semi final, WI for not giving a fight at all in the Semis..

Re: Younus Khan declared captain of ICC World T20 squad

grats Younis, he brought it all together.

Younis named skipper of ICC’s World T20 XI - 4 Pakistanis in there

Brilliant…. Just Brillant. This T20 will go a long way in raising the value of Brand Pakistan. Likes of Gul, Afridi and others can help get the star-appeal back for Pakistani team and can make it big draw again!

From being defending champions to not having a single player in the ICC’s team of the World T20, it’s been quite a sharp decline for MS Dhoni’s Indian team…READ MORE]

Re: Younis named skipper of ICC's World T20 XI - 4 Pakistanis in there

On what basis is Younis the captain?

Bro..That is awfully specific…you forgot to mention Australian players…It is obvious that team was selected from semi finalists..It does not mean that there are no match winners in any other team…
