Former England Skipper Michael Vaughan makes Test cricket greatest ‘Bald XI’ team; check here

New Delhi: Former England Skipper Michael Vaughan has come up with a unique list of cricket players where he has chosen 11 'bald' players on his test side.

Vaughan’s Test cricket's greatest ‘Bald XI’ players range mostly from the SENA countries.

The former skipper who served the English side from 2003-08, shared the ‘Bald XI’ list on his official Instagram account where he chose ex-England captain Brian Close to lead his team.

Vaughan selected England’s legendary batsman Graham Gooch and former South African cricketer Herschelle Gibbs as his opening duo.

Although, there were few players who wanted India’s Virender Sehwag who has scored two triple test centuries, in place of Gibbs.

Surprisingly, Vaughan listened to those fans and replied, “Gibbs is out ... Viru in.”
