The ICC announced their teams of the decade in all three forms of the game but what took many by surprise is that not a single Pakistani cricketer made it to these elite squads. Besides this, the ICC T20I squad had just three bowlers in the playing eleven. This is how the fans, former cricketers reacted to these squads on social media. Here are some of the best reactions.
Only three proper bowlers??? Seriously?? ♂️ https://t.co/yel0MzNoT3

If you go by @ICC teams of the decade, you will feel as if Pakistan men and women didn’t play any cricket at all from 2010.

Not sure many played through the decade… Could perhaps only feel for either or both of Shoaib Malik and Mohd Hafeez.
