Fantasy teams have been a norm since the dawn of competitive sports. They become especially exciting when the restrictions put into the team selection are met by legendary players. Today we will take a look at the dream team consisting of the youngest players to debut in international cricket in any format of the game.
Openers: Sachin Tendulkar and Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri and Sachin Tendulkar are two of the biggest names of world cricket. Tendulkar opened for the team for the majority of his career, and averages an incredible 48.3 as an opener. Shastri was also a great opener, and averaged about 44.04 as an opener in Tests. These two in their primes could give the team a flying start.
Middle order:
Javed Miandad, Tamim Iqbal, and Parthiv Patel
Miandad is one of the biggest names in Pakistan cricket. The legendary batsman averaged more than 50 at the number 3 position, and he is the perfect guy for the team. He was also a decent opener, so could also be a handy opener if things go south.
Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh opener could be a very good fit for the important number 4 position. Opening batsmen have generally shown a tendency to perform good in that position. He could produce something special once he gets into his groove.
Parthiv Patel is someone who can adapt his approach according to the situation. He can rebuild an innings, and can also accelerate at the flip of the hat. He could be an extremely important position at the number 5 position.
All-rounder: Abdul razzaq
Abdul Razzaq was a talented all-rounder, and took 389 wickets in his career. He was a young sensation, and had his place fixed in the Pakistan team setup. He was a handy all-rounder who could hit big shots, and pick wickets when it mattered the most.
Spinner: Harbhajan Singh
Singh has picked an incredible 711 career wickets, and is one of the most successful off-spinners in the sport. He is also an explosive lower order batsman who can hit the big strokes. His doosra was devastatingly effective, and his experience also makes him a formidable bowler.
Fast Bowlers:
Tim Southee, Kemar Roach, Wasim Akram, Mohammad Amir
These names make up what would be probably the most devastating pace attack in the world. Veterans like Wasim Akram and Tim Southee have already established themselves as one of the best fast bowlers of all time. Kemar Roach and Mohammad Amir have lit the entire world on fire by their sheer pace and excellent bowling.
Roach and Amir made their international debut around the same time, and these two talented pacers have troubled batsmen all over the world with their pace and accuracy. They would be a great addition to what is already a formidable pace attack.
