Pakistan prodigy Shaheen Afridi got the 12th spot as he started his tournament in style with a blistering new ball spell against arch-rival India. He removed Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and captain Virat Kohli to end with figures of three for 31 and lay the foundations for a memorable victory.
Other players include David Warner, Jos Buttler, Charith Asalanka, Aiden Markram, Moeen Ali, Hasaranga, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Trent Boult and Anrich Nortje.
No Indian players made it to the team as Kohli led squad was ousted at the group league stage after being thrashed by Green Shirts and New Zealand before winning three inconsequential games against Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia.
The selection panel with the unenviable task of narrowing it down to just 11 players on the team sheet and a 12th in reserve were commentators Ian Bishop, Natalie Germanos and Shane Watson, and journalists Lawrence Booth and journalists Shahid Hashmi.
