nevada Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 There are all kinds of XI these days, so why not try family XI? Criteria for inclusion - a family member like son, dad, brother, cousin, nephew etc should have also represented the country at some point of time. Only blood relatives - relation by marriage doesn't count. And also excluded are players from Pakistan - because there's a bunch of them and I am not interested in an Indo-Pak XI. The team is: Sunil Gavaskar Mark Waugh Ricky Ponting(His maternal uncle, Greg Campbell, represented Australia in a few games). Martin Crowe (C) Steve Waugh Andy Flower Shawn Pollock Richard Hadlee Brett Lee Peter Pollock Rahul Chahar

Pakistan could probably have an entire XI plus bench of family members. The Mohammed brothers and their next generation Shoaib, Imran Khan, Majid Khan, his dad Jahangir and son Bazid, Javed Burki, Javed Miandad, Faisal Iqbal, Nazar Mohammad and his son Mudassar Nazar.

maniac Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Why the bias against Manju I mean a father and son duo representing India in test cricket and scoring 100s for the country is a pretty elite club.
