Watch: Tim Bresnan picks his all-time best XI

The English cricketer Tim Bresnan has grabbed the headlines after revealing his all-time XI in a recent video. He made his international debut for England in a T20I match against Sri Lanka. Following that, his ODI debut came after two days against the same team. But his Test debut for his nation came a little bit late in 2009 as he got a chance to play against West Indies.

He has featured in 34 T20s and 85 ODIs and scored 216 and 871 runs to his name. With the ball, the latter has scalped 24 and 109 wickets respectively. Apart from the limited-overs cricket, Bresnan represented his nation in 23 Tests where he piled up 575 runs and bagged 72 wickets as well. Besides, the 36-year-old has named his all-time best XI which is considered as a weird XI by the fans.
