MS Dhoni And Virat Kohli Are Not Part Of World XI, This Is What Pakistani Fans Has To Say About It
In the never ending history of cricket, Indian cricket team has produced some amazing players from the inception, out of which Mahendra Singh Dhoni and current skipper Virat Kohli are now vital. We all know the popularity of these two, be it the arch rival and brotherly country Pakistan, or Australia, these two never left any stone unturned in acing the game of Cricket.
In spite all this, now that the Pakistan is all set to host the most awaited World XI T20 series as international cricket returns to the nation, everyone is much curious about the same. However, there are thing s which everyone is badly missing right now.
This much-awaited team will be led by South Africa captain Faf du Plessis. There will be three T20 internationals beginning from September 12. All three matches will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in the capital Lahore.
If we have to get back to the reason behind the avoidance of the Indian and Sri Lankan teams, we have to date back to the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in 2009, from then onwards, no top Test team visited Pakistan due to security concerns and the ICC also refused to send any match referee and umpires for the limited overs series played by Zimbabwe in May 2015 in the capital.

Even Pakistan’s one of the most loved batsman Afridi in an interview with BBC Urdu has said, “I am happy that international cricketers are going to play on Pakistani soil, but it would have been even better if Indian players were also included in the World XI team.”

Faf du Plessis (Captain), Hashim Amla, Colin Miller, Imran Tahir, Morne Morkel (SA), George Bailey, Tim Paine, Bn Cutting (Aust), Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh), Thisara Perera (Sri Lanka), Grant Elliot (NZ), Paul Collingwood (Eng) Darren Sammy and Samuel Badree (West Indies).
