Wasim Akram of Hampshire

Wasim Akram will complete this playing XI of captains. His bowling exploits are no secret. Akram was one of the fiercest bowlers in the history of Test cricket. With an ability to dance the red cherry in the air, he kept batsmen on their toes. To complete his bowling arsenal, he also had a good stock of yorkers that he used effectively to surprise the batsman. Additionally, he was also a useful batsman and a reasonably good captain.
