Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2016: T20I Team of the Year

#2 West Indies

The three-match whitewash against Pakistan towards the end of the year is perhaps the only reason why West Indies isn’t the team of the year.

West Indian cricket might be going through a lean phase as far as Test cricket is concerned, but the unit suddenly transforms into world beaters when they hear the word ‘T20s’. Known to possess one of the best players in the craft, they are the most sought-after in T20 leagues around the world.

They managed to win another World T20, the victory seeming sweeter because of the underlying fights with the WICB over contractual issues. A gutsy team effort managed to push away a resounding Indian team in the semis, and a certain Carlos Brathwaite became a hero in the finals against England.

They shed off the ignominy of a Test series defeat by edging past India in the T20 series in Florida. However, they slipped badly in the three-match series against Pakistan, failing to win a single match.
