Antony’s Domestic Two-Day Best XI 🇲🇻️🏏❤️
This week Maldives Cricket SuperFan Mr. Singh K Antony completes his trio of ‘Best XI’ with his Best XI for two-day matches.
The fact that only 1 of the following players has actually played a two-day match has not perturbed his choice…Antony has a keen eye for the future and has watched these players grow up within the Maldives Cricket circle.
- Yaqoob Salman
Immensely talented cricketer. Being a south paw, makes him tailormade opener. Aggressive from the word go. Bowling is an added advantage to the team. Excellent fielder.
- Ibrahim Sadhoof (Wk)
Technically, the best wicket keeper in Maldives. Knowledgeable cricketer. Great in his attitude towards the game. Sound batsman. Needs to come out of the groove as the situation demands. Hope the selectors would respond to his knock at their doors.
- Yoosuf Azyan Farhath (C)
Right person to lead the younger brigade. Will lead by example in all departments of the game.
- Mohamed Ivan
Highly rated with his batting credentials. Knows how to pace his innings to reach better individual scores.
- Shius Fareed
Aggressive batsman. Unstoppable on his day. Wicket keeping is an app advantage.
- Hussain Mafaaz
Underrated cricketer. Can be used as a batsman at any position. Useful bowler with military medium pace. Likes to bowl long spells. Lovely and lively character on and off the field.
- Ibrahim Raid
Captain’s pride. Utility cricketer. Bowling is his strength. Useful with the bat as well. Excellent fielder at midwicket.
- Ali Rafil Rauf
Quality all rounder. Capable of playing a cameo with the bat. Bowls with good pace.
- Rassam Rasheed
Improved cricketer. Likes to get involved in all cricketing events. Bowling is his strength. But, not a rabbit with the bat.
- Mohamed Naveel
Capable of troubling any batsman with sheer pace. Excellent pupil of the game. Makes personal practice sessions.
- Mohamed Rayan Tholal
Proved his mettle at international level. Intelligent bowler. Promises a lot for the future.
12th. Adam Khalaf Khaleel
Excellent fielder. His ability with both bat and ball would put lot of pressure on others already in the playing X1.
