Glad to see Wanindu Hasaranga @Wanindu49 and Rashid Khan @rashidkhan_19 together in a team.
Wouldn't that be just amazing!
These two are best spinners-allorounders IMO.

Good team. Think Shanaka could have sneaked in but don't know his LPL stats, and it's really hard to make a case against the selected middle order. https://t.co/zJFeZb1GhJ

Wisden are you watching this
This is how one creates a T20 team of the year. https://t.co/5dLyzaGHma— James McCaghrey (@McLovinstatto) December 29, 2022
Incredibly all-round team. Has everything you could ask from a T20 team except maybe offspin. But you wouldn't need any other spin when you have Rashid Khan https://t.co/h0mc2tVfXq
