A right-handed Asian ODI XI of the 21st century

Fast Bowlers

Waqar Younis

Younis is a legend

Waqar Younis will spearhead the pace attack. He is arguably the best exponent of reverse swing the game has ever witnessed.

He was best known for his deadly yorkers and his subtle changes of pace but he could also bowl a lovely outswinger with the new ball, which was highly under-rated.

He was deadly with the old ball and was an out an out wicket-taker. Most of his dismissals were LBW or bowled, which is a testimony to his accuracy and consistency.

Shoaib Akhtar

Akhtar was quick as lightning

Shoaib Akhtar will start with the new ball and with his quick out-swing, he would prove to be deadly. He would also be quite handy with the old ball with his ability to exploit reverse swing.

Arguably the quickest bowler ever to play the game, Akhtar possessed the ability to decimate any batting lineup with sheer pace.

He had a lovely outswinger, a sharp bouncer and a deceiving slower ball- all these attributes combined made him a complete package and a privilege for any captain.
