In collaboration with Lord’s Cricket Ground, the 38-year-old revealed his dream team which included Indian batting trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Virat Kohli.
A🤪ccording to the selection criteria, Vettori can choose players he has played with, against or has been influenced by.
Surprisingly, the former left-arm spinner did not include current New Zealand captain Kane Williamson in his team.
