A simple A, B, C or D would have been better but fair enough.

Well ghulam I hope selectors dont get to pick teams like that in real.

But I wouldn't go with C. Afridi's team is the weekest. Afridi is the only player I'd have in our XI from C.

A and B both have 3 players each I'd have in my XI (Akmal bros+Razzaq, and Imran+Nazir+Fawad+Gul respectively).

D has four of my first choice guys - Shahzeb, Malik, Aamer and Ajmal.

So I'd pick D.

But lets delete this thread before PCB starts getting ideas from this.

Oh sorry it is for Cricistan Cricket Fantasy League. In that case I would pick A.

[Ahmed Zulfiqar]

I'd go for team D
