My Current Asian XI

As I watch Bangladesh defy all the negativity usually associated with their cricketing and destroy Zimbabwe, I am thinking about how Bangladeshi players would factor into my All Star Asian XI. Well folks, here is my Asian XI based on recent results, etc.

1. Tilakaratne Dilshan (SL)
2. Sachin Tendulkar (Ind.)
3. Mohammad Yousuf (Pak.)
4. Yuvraj Singh (Ind.)
5. Shahid Afridi (Pak.)
6. M.S. Dhoni (Ind.) WK/Capt.
7. Shakib Al-Hasan (Bangl.)
8. Angelo Mathews (SL)
9. Nuwan Kulasekara (SL)
10. Muttiah Muralitharan (SL)
11. Umar Gul (Pak.)
12th man: Ajantha Mendis (SL)/Harbhajan Singh (Ind)/Thilan Thushara (SL)

I'd love to hear comments and/or your Asian XI!

    I am not sure that No.8/9 can justify their place. Even though current form is an important factor, I think there are better options to choose from. I would consider Zaheer Khan and Mohd.Aamer for the fast bowling spot.

    V.Sehwag at No.3 would be my pick.

    Shahid Afridi is too inconsistent. Given that the bowling is already strong, I would pick someone like Sangakkara, Jayawardhane or Shoaib Malik.
