The coronavirus pandemic has brought all the sporting activities across the globe at a halt, but the International Cricket Council (ICC) is coming up with unique ways these days in order to keep its fans entertained, be it digging deep into their archives to inform some record-breaking facts, posting some riddles for its followers to solve or raising some questions for the readers to answer.

On Monday, the ICC once again took to its official Twitter handle and decided to play a game with the cricket fans.

Posting a picture of Virat Kohli and the Australian team from a clash, the world's cricket governing body asked its followers to compile their best T20I Playing XI from the bunch of cricketers who have played after their birth.

The ICC also informed that the Playing XI could only have just one player from each country.

"Compile your 'Best T20I XI' from cricketers who have played while you have been alive. Condition: The team can have ONLY ONE player from each country," the ICC wrote.

Earlier, the ICC posted a collage of four players namely Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Sri Lankan experienced pacer Lasith Malinga, West Indies' Sheldon Cottrell and Australia's Mitchell Starc and asked the cricket fans to name a player with the best yorker in the international cricket.

While Malinga was the top choice of Twitterati, majority of them also picked Bumrah as the bowler with best yorker in the international cricket.
