Babar Azam To Lead Aakash Chopra’s Side

Aakash Chopra picked the Pakistan skipper Babar Azam to lead his side as the latter finished as the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Chopra went on name Jos Buttler and ICC’s man of the tournament David Warner as the openers of the side.

The middle-order comprised of Namibia’s David Wiese and Moeen Ali to do the finishing duties with Charith Asalanka and Aiden Markram playing at numbers 4 and 5. They can be very destructive at the back end of the innings and deserve a place in the lineup.
