An Asian ODI XI comprising fan favourites 

SPINNERS

Shahid Afridi (Pakistan)

Pakistan's favourite, Lala!

It's a delight to watch Shahid Afridi play when he is unsung. On his day, Afridi can rip apart any opposition in the world. This was evident right from the beginning when he smashed a 37 ball century to announce his arrival on the grand stage. Since then, Afridi has had a lot of ups and downs, despite this, his career has been a fabulous one.

Afridi has featured in 398 one-day internationals. He has scored 8064 runs with a strike rate of 117.01. He has also picked up 395 wickets with his best bowling figures coming against West Indies, he put them on the backfoot as he scalped 7 wickets by giving away only 12 runs in his 9 over spell.

Afridi will bat at number seven. At the dying stages of the innings, he'll take the attack to the opposition and he'll look for wickets in the middle overs while bowling.

Muttiah Muralidharan (Sri Lanka)

Those scary eyes!

800 Test wickets, 534 ODI wickets, Muttiah Muralidharan's statistics are out of the world. Muralidharan's action was brought to controversy many times but the Sri Lankan off-spinner always found a way out of the controversies. Muralidharan's exploits in bowling are similar to Tendulkar's exploits in the batting department.

Murali picked up 534 wickets in 341 ODI innings, his economy rate of 3.93, his average of 23.08 is incredible. Muttiah spun a web around some of the finest batting line-ups in the world, on certain days, he would be unplayable. Murali has picked up 154 wickets at home and 380 wickets away from home.

He'll bowl in the middle overs for this team. He'll be unplayable along with Shahid Afridi and Shakib Al Hasan in the spin department.
