The pandemic spread of the COVID-19 virus has brought the world down to a standstill. With no cricket going on, all the cricketers have a lot of free time on their hands right now. Many cricketers have also been proactive on their social media in the past few weeks due to the lockdown. Australian spinner Ashton Agar decided to enlist his followers and shared his all-time World XI.

Speaking with the Lord’s Cricket Ground’s Youtube channel, Ashton Agar named former Australian batsman and current coach Justin Langer and the dynamic Virender Sehwag as his openers. Justifying his decision of picking the Indian international as his opener, Agar said,  “He is my favorite cricketer of all-time. He looked to hit the ball for six from ball one and probably the most entertaining player to play the game.”

Ashton Agar wants former Australian captain Ricky Ponting to captain the side while accommodating the No 3 slot. Agar wants Cricket legend and former Indian international Sachin Tendulkar as his no 4 in his team.

“I’ll have Ricky Ponting at number three and he will be the captain as well. He was always the captain of the great Australian team, so I got to watch as a kid, and he’s probably Australia’s greatest ever batsman,” Agar said.

Following up after Sachin Tendulkar, Agar’s middle order comprises of the West Indies duo Brian Lara and Vivian Richards. He squeezed in Adam Gilchrist as the wicketkeeper of his team before moving on to the bowling department.

Ashton Agar has decided to go with Shoaib Akhtar and fellow countrymen bowler Brett Lee to as the only pacers in his team.  Speaking of the spinners Sri Lankan Rangana Herath makes it into Agar’s list.  Shane Warne joins Lee, Langer and Ponting as the 4th Australian named in Agar’s line-up.
