New Zealand’s former all-rounder Scott Styris has picked his favourite of all time white-ball XI that he has played against. Styris has been one of the most capped players of New Zealand and is certainly one of the greatest all-rounders the Kiwis have ever produced. He has played 31 T20Is for New Zealand in the second half of the 2000s before feature in the domestic leagues – for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Deccan Chargers in the IPL, in the BPL, and in England. He also played a total of 188 ODIs scoring 4500 runs and claiming 137 wickets in the process.

Styris has now picked his best white-ball XI of all time. The team includes three Indians, three Australians, and three Sri Lankans. Apart from them, it has a couple of South African stars as well.
