Then Dinesh Karthik picked 3 spin bowling all-Rounders Shakib Al Hasan, Moeen Ali and Wanindu Hasaranga. The remaining 4 players in his list were Australian Adam Zampa, Kiwi Trent Boult, Indian Jasprit Bumrah and Pakistani Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Babar Azam, Jos Buttler, Charith Asalanka, Rassie van der Dussen, Shakib al Hasan, Moeen Ali, Wanindu Hasaranga, Adam Zampa, Trent Boult, Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Afridi. Would have ideally liked Morgan as he has been the best captain for me, but has not done enough as a batter. So, I went for Azam. Van der Dussen is a very clever batsman,” Karthik said on Cricbuzz.

“The tournament has been dominated by bowlers. So, you can see I have picked 7 proper bowlers. If Australia is in the semi-final, a huge hand has to go to Zampa. Afridi has looked class apart from the rest”.
