Pakistan vs World XI: 5 retired players who are part of the World XI

#4 Grant Elliott

Grant Elliott

Grant Elliott had a short career with the New Zealand national team. However, during his short stint, the Kiwi all-rounder impressed with both bat and ball. He wasn’t particularly intimidating with the willow, so preferred to play copybook cricket in order to accumulate runs.

His slow medium-pace bowling also helped him churn out wickets at pivotal points of an encounter. The Johannesburg born cricketer eventually retired from One Day Internationals in 2016. However, he confirmed full-retirement when he signed the Kolpak deal in 2017 to play the Natwest T20 Blast for Warwickshire.

He is well and truly in the thick of things when it comes to playing T20 cricket and can be a handy addition to the World XI team as they go into the T20 tournament in Lahore.
