Earlier, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi expressed that the World XI would have been better with Indian players.

In an interview to BBC Urdu, Afridi had said, "I am happy that international cricketers are going to play on Pakistani soil, but it would have been even better if Indian players were also included in the World XI team."

The World XI squad will be led by South Africa captain Faf du Plessis. The series will have three T20 internationals beginning from September 12. All three matches will be played at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore. Since the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in 2009, no top Test team visited Pakistan due to security concerns and the ICC also refused to send any match referee and umpires for the limited overs series played by Zimbabwe in May, 2015 in Lahore.

World XI side: Faf du Plessis (Captain), Hashim Amla, Colin Miller, Imran Tahir, Morne Morkel (SA), George Bailey, Tim Paine, Bn Cutting (Aust), Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh), Thisara Perera (Sri Lanka), Grant Elliot (NZ), Paul Collingwood (Eng) Darren Sammy and Samuel Badree (West Indies).
