Younis Khan Unveils His Ultimate All-Time XI, Picks Imran Khan as Captain

Younis Khan has picked his ultimate all-time XI and it is a star-studded side consisting of undisputed legends. The 2009 T20 world cup winning captain surprisingly didn’t include himself in the team.

From a neutral point of view, the team does seem to be a perfect blend of bowling, batting, and all-around performers. Let’s see who Pakistan’s most prolific test run scorer picked;

Apart from that, it has some of the most recognized performers from the golden era of West Indian and Australian cricket.

Here is the team;

  • Hanif Mohammad (Pakistan),
  • Sachin Tendulkar (India),
  • Jacques Kallis (South Africa),
  • Brian Lara (West Indies),
  • Sir Viv Richards (West Indies),
  • Sir Garry Sobers (West Indies),
  • Adam Gilchrist (Australia) (wk),
  • Imran Khan (Pakistan) (c),
  • Sir Richard Hadlee (New Zealand),
  • Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka) and
  • Glenn McGrath (Australia).
