Commentator Henry MoeranDuckett (Eng), Ibrahim (Afg), Ravindra (NZ), Kohli (Ind), Axar (Ind), Latham (NZ, wk), Hardik (Ind), Azmatullah (Afg), Santner (NZ, capt), Henry (NZ), Chakravarthy (Ind).Much depends on where this fictional team plays – but given the tournament has been split between the flatter tracks of Pakistan and the turning surfaces of Dubai, I’ve gone for a team for all seasons.The spin of Axar Patel and Santner may be similar in style, but Varun Chakravarthy offers enough variation to be about five spinners in one. Matt Henry has been a standout as a seamer, here supported by Azmatullah Omarzai and…

This was a man in just his third game as Rangers manager and with only some underwhelming stints in the Scottish third and fourth tiers to call upon. He might have won in his first match since replacing Philippe Clement – his side coming from two down at Kilmarnock just eight days ago – but that was followed by an abject home defeat on Saturday at the hands of struggling Motherwell. However, Ferguson and his coaching team watched their…
