Spinners
Shahid Afridi

Shahid Afridi will play the role of the wrist-spinner in this team. He will be useful with his leg-breaks by providing wickets in the middle overs. He will also prove to be quite handy with the bat lower down the order with his power hitting that not many can match.
Afridi was perhaps the most enigmatic cricketer Pakistan has ever produced and he had the ability to win games with both bat and ball.
His quick leg breaks were a tough nut to crack for the batsmen, one main reason being the drift he got in the air.
He was deadly with the bat as well and on his day, he had the ability to tear apart even the best bowling lineups.

Muttiah Muralitharan

Muttiah Muralitharan will lead the spin bowling department of the team. He holds the record of taking the highest number of wickets in ODI cricket history
He had the ability to turn the cricket ball ferociously on any kind of surface and bamboozled opponents throughout his long cricketing career.
Murali, who many think is the greatest spinner ever, had the ability to vary the pace of his deliveries perfectly and he was renowned to bowl long spells with same level of consistency throughout.
