5 T20 Specialists we wish still played international cricket

Fifth Test: England v Australia

5. Shane Watson

Big Bash League - Sydney Sixers v Sydney Thunder
Big Bash League - Sydney Sixers v Sydney Thunder

Watson retired from international action in 2016, while he was ranked as the best T20 all-rounder in the world. He was the last player to retire from Australia’s mightily successful side from the early 2000s, and like many others, has committed himself to the T20 franchise circuit.

He has featured in the Big Bash, the IPL, the PSL and CPL since his retirement making him one of the most well-travelled players in the world. He made four Test hundreds and took 75 wickets, but it was the one-day arena where he thrived the most. He’s renowned in England for being an LBW candidate in Test cricket, only to review the most plumb decisions, but that shouldn’t overrule what has been an excellent white ball career.
