Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad has picked his all-time Pakistan XI where he included stars from the past.

While talking on Geo News' Hasna Manah Hai, the 32-year-old didn't pick any current stars and mentioned the reasoning behind his picks.

He named Saeed Anwar and Majid Khan as openers in his side.

"Saeed Anwar is everyone's favourite who used to play everywhere across the ground.

"I have watched many of Majid Khan's videos and he looked a stylish batter. He has many records while playing in his era," he added.

He picked Zaheer Abbas, Younis Khan, Javed Miandad and Shahid Afridi as his middle-order batters while Moin Khan was his wicket-keeper.

"He [Zaheer Abbas} was pleasing to the eye, the cover drive was great and used to dominate the bowlers. Younis Khan was a hard-working player with very good stats. Having him in any side is icing on the cake.

"I know I have placed him below but how can I miss Javed Miandad.? Growing up watching him play, I had to adjust to him somewhere in my team.

"Shahid Afridi is the batter who can hit sixes and bowl spin. It was a tough call but for wicketkeeper-spot but Moin Khan used to take neat takes with ball going smoothly in his gloves," he maintained.

Along with the inventor of 'Doosra' Saqlain Mushtaq, Wasim Akram, Mohammad Zahid and Shoaib Akhtar consist of Shehzad's bowling attack.

"Saqlain has won us matches and has great stats.

"It's impossible if someone is playing in their childhood and are not following Wasim Akram and his achievements," he added on his inclusion.

"Zahid played very little cricket and I remember once Brian Lara said, he is the fastest I have ever played," he maintained.
