Current Asia Test XI

Test cricket is the ultimate form of the game.The skills, grit and temperament required in test cricket are not seen so much in the other forms of the game. Test cricket enfolds its own sets of ebbs and flows, unveiled over the span of five days.  But a question that has perturbed the cricket pundits recently is the relevance of test cricket in the modern era. Empty stadiums, low TV viewings are a worrying sign for the apex body of cricket. But there are some great players around the world who can bring back the interest in test cricket by their performances on the field.Let’s look at 11 such great current Asian players who can make it to a best XI of the continent.

#1 Murali Vijay

Murali Vijay is a great opener

Murali Vijay is currently the best opener in Asia. He has done his reputation a world of good with superb performances on the soil of Australia and England. Vijay’s grit and solid technique make for a great opener in all conditions.

He has scored 2420 runs in 31 Tests at an average of 41.72.But since the start of January 2013, he averages 47.65 in 21 Tests and has scored five of his six centuries in this period. An in-form Vijay is an asset for any team he plays.
