i cant believe that they included ONLY three pak players, out of which only ONE is a batsman??????😕 wat on earth... i cant believe they didnt include abdul razzaq or afridi??????? 😲 seriously, i dont want to be rude, but players lyk sachin and sehwag dont deserve to be there!!! they havent been performing at all to be included, especially sehwag!... i wud have rather gone wid Dravid, which isnt included! but honeslty, razzaq or afridi shud have been inluded, only one batsman from pak, wat on earth!!!! pak has sum of the best all rounders in world cricket, they cud have included at least one all rounder from pak!!! but they didnt!


and the African 20/20 team luks so weird..... 😆 i havent heard of any of those players?????? and the 20/20 asian team is fine, as they have mostly players who can actually play quick games... as we all know that 20/20 matches r of 20 overs only! and if u luk at the african team for 20/20 then they arent filled wid any great players, thats really weird!
