A 'Gentlemen' XI of currently active cricketers

#8 Mashrafe Mortaza

Mashrafe Mortaza

The Bangladesh skipper, Mashrafe Mortaza, is one of the most underrated captains in the world cricket at the moment. After fighting with injuries during the most part of his career the 35-year-old has been doing a commendable job by inspiring his team.

A principled man and a calm head on shoulders, he carries himself with a lot of dignity on and off the field. He is one of the most loved personalities in Bangladesh. The way in which he treated his fan when he dodged all the security personnel and came running into the ground to meet him, proves he is a true gentleman.

Mortaza has thus far played in 36 Tests, 202 ODIs and 54 T20Is scoring close to 3000 runs with the bat and mustering 378 wickets with the ball in all formats combined.

#9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is one of the very few bowlers in the world cricket who possess the rare skill of swinging the ball both ways. He along with Bumrah has formed the best death bowling pair in the world for their ability to contain runs and take wickets at the same time to dent the opposition.

Despite being one of the best in the business, he rarely finds himself in sledging or verbal battles. In fact, he doesn't need anything extra than his impeccable bowling skills to get the better of the batsmen.

The 28-year-old has thus far featured in 21 Tests, 98 ODIs and 34 T20Is, scoring in excess of 1000 runs with bat and taking more than 200 wickets with the ball in all formats combined.
