Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has revealed his ICC Champions Trophy playing XI after the tournament concluded with India clinching a record third title in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team defeated New Zealand by four wickets in a thrilling final to lift the coveted trophy.
Interestingly, Basit Ali’s team featured no Pakistani players despite Pakistan's presence in the tournament as the host nation. Moreover, his chosen XI slightly differed from the official ICC Team of the Tournament, most notably with Rohit Sharma as captain instead of New Zealand’s Mitchell Santner.
